We all love to enjoy Pulaos and biryanis, but many of us avoid making them at home as it takes lot of time. I like to make my Pulaos and Biryanis as simple as possible, I also like to make in traditional manner, if I have planned ahead and assembled all dry ingredients, so I can put it together the next day in lesser amount of time.
I am Sure you all will agree with me when I say that, we all need a short cut method for all our traditional recipes. And this one is that short cut method for a rich pulao recipe.
Cashews are incredibly versatile dry fruit that can be made savory or sweet. Add a few Cashews to any of you recipes and the dish becomes richer and Classier.
I add them to almost all Pulao recipes, be it Bisibelabhat or lemon rice. This is a very easy onepot recipe that can be had as full meal or serve it with side dishes like; Raithas, pickles and papdams.
