I tried this Kashmiri pulao recipe with fruits and nuts from Mrs.Mallika badrinath’s “Rice delights” cook book. I wanted to try this pulao after tasting in a restaurant . I wont say this one tasted exactly as I had in restaurant. But it was good and tasted unique with a mild sweet taste. We all liked it.
A note to weight watchers : Though this pulao is healthy with all fruits,veggies and nuts , its highly calorific!!! U can try this by avoiding paneer , butter & fresh cream. Replace fresh cream with condensed milk. This would be suitable for kids and slim people like me ;)).
Ingredients : ( 1 cup = 250ml)
