ABOUT Tahari RECIPE

Simple one pot meals can be so filling and easy to make. They make perfect lunch box meals as well as healthy. I somehow find it very lazy and time consuming to cook elaborate meals like dal,curry and rice. Don't you think so? Especially in Hyderabad when you have water problem touching peaks during summers, cooking gives you a hard time. You definitely cannot eat out everyday and escape day's cooking. On my quest to find out something easy and tasty to prepare under 45 mins, I found many recipes like Tawa Pulao, Tahiri, Simple biryani, Vegetable Pulao, Paneer Pulao and Bisi bela baath.Coming back to the recipe, this is a regional special all the way from Uttar Pradesh and happens to be my first post experimenting regional cuisines. Simple and close to biryani but not at all elaborate. You can even make it with left over rice and doesn't need much chopping. Sounds good right? It is very tasty and mildly spiced pulao which definetely finds way to my lunch box often.
