Veggies and Yogurt Pulao is one of the most common rice recipe of North India. A pulao is a one pot dish of rice and vegetables or a protein cooked together with aromatics (onions, garlic, ginger etc), spices and herbs. This is an absolutely delicious one pot meal and can be created either in a pan or pressure cooker. Here, I‘ve created it in a regular pan. It makes a great busy day, picnic, or lunchbox recipe.
