Product Description:

Pulao is a fragrant and mildly spiced rice dish that combines long-grain basmati rice with tender meat (chicken, mutton, or beef), caramelized onions, and whole aromatic spices such as cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon. Unlike Biryani, Pulao is a single-pot dish where the rice absorbs the flavorful meat broth, creating a well-balanced and subtly spiced meal. The use of yogurt or stock enhances its depth, making it moist yet light. Often garnished with fried onions, raisins, and nuts, it is a festive dish enjoyed across South Asia, commonly served with raita or salad.

Important Points:

✅ Mildly spiced and aromatic

✅ Can be made with chicken, mutton, or vegetables

✅ Best served with raita or chutney
