One Pot Meals

Video Recipe – How to make Tomato Pulav | GF, Vegan | Easy One Pot Meals

Pulav are really quick One Pot Meals. Tomato Pulav is one such quick meal which can fit anywhere – weekend dinners, weekday meals or even office / School Lunchboxes. I had blogged earlier about the Tamilnadu variation of Tomato Rice – Thakkali Saadamhere. It’s one of my husband’s favourite dish and I make it often

I usually add a lot of vegetables to Pulav – like Tehri (my fav pulav variant), Corn n peas (the kids love it) or just the usual Veg Pulav. If you are in an indulgent mood, one can always the Shahi Hara Pulavredolent with spices, cashew paste and a lot of veggies or the ultra luxurious and lipsmacking Navratan Pulao. Another favourite in my family is the Goan Xacuti Masala Veg Pulao made with Brown Rice. Another family favourite is this Nigerian Jollof Rice
