Instructions

  1. FOR RICE

  5. stir. cover and cook the rice till the rice grains are cooked well.
  6. the rice grains should be separate also cooked well
  7. if the water begins to froth pushing the lid, then remove the lid or partly cover the pot with lid and cook the rice.
  8. don't cook the rice too much or make them mushy. this will spoil the texture of the pulao
  9. in a strainer, add the cooked rice and let all the water drain away
  10. gently fluff the rice with a fork.

  13. FOR TAWA MASALA
  14. steam the carrot, potato and green peas till all of them are cooked well in a steamer, pan or pressure cooker.
