Instead of plain white rice, try adding colorful vegetables to them, not only it improves the flavor but colorful and healthy as well.
Corn is rich in fiber, contains Vitamin B1. B5, Vitamin C and helpful for detoxifying your colon while carrots are an excellent source of beta-carotene.
If using basmati rice, soak it for 30 minutes then drain. Add in the rice after the water has reached boiling point. 2C Pulao is best eaten with spicy gravy of your choice..
