Tips, food safety & substitutions

Fry the eggs until the whites are completely set and rest the pulao for 5 minutes before serving so the grains stay separate. Contains egg and milk (ghee, yoghurt). Frozen peas work well; carrots can be added with the peas. Leftover pulao can be reheated with a splash of water. Nutrition values are estimates and vary with exact ingredients and portion size.
