Veg Pulao in Microwave-Subz Pulao

April 18, 2018 by Smita Singh Leave a Comment

Veg Pulao-Subz Pulao

Veg Pulao or Subz Pulao is a quick recipe that you can prepare in Microwave in less than 30 mins. We already have a less elaborate preparation in form of Spicy Pulao in microwave. Today’s recipe is bit more elaborate in terms of amount of veggies and spices added to it.

Rice preparations like Pulao or Biryani are my favorite and I often try accommodating a couple of rice preparations in my Monthly schedule of recipes. My love for Rice preparations becomes evident if you have a look at the playlists of Rice preparations and Biryanis on this blog. This fascination also manifests itself in form of Books that feature in my book-shelf and on my kindle. I have few books in my collections that solely focus on Biryanis and Pulaos.

Microwave often has to suffer from few misconceptions like ‘Microwave can only be used for re-heating’ or ‘Microwave can only be used for basic cooking’ and the following one can be termed as a corollary to previous one “Microwave can’t be used for making any elaborate preparations”. To clear the air of doubts, we started this weekly series of “Daily Indian Cooking with Microwave” that features several recipes ranging from Breakfast/snacks, starters and Mains. This recipe is a part of this series. I also encourage my readers/viewers to pose queries that they think will help them shed their inhibitions related to Microwave and take up this essential kitchen skill.

  18. Tip of the Day: Usually, we prefer aromatic Biryani rice which is expensive. Everyone cannot afford expensive high grade Basmati rice. You can also buy a medium grade Basmati rice and store it in an air-tight container. Add 5-6 cloves (for 1 kg rice) with this rice. Cloves will make this rice aromatic and your pulao will be flavorful
