Pulao made with Fenugreek leaves.
Methi pulao,is a simple and flavorful pulao made in jiffy and perfect one for lunch box also. I learnt this recipe from my friend who makes this so often. The highlight of this pulao is it doesn’t involve any grinding of masala and only cardamom is used for the flavor. The paneer biryani recipe which i posted recently doesn’t involve any grinding process.
Also check out an interesting Corn Methi pulao.
Since i made this in the morning couldn’t take proper step wise pictures .Will update soon.
