Hi friends,
How r u all? Could any one send some veg rice recipies? and one more thing what is the difference between pulav and briyani? Thanks in advance.Take care. vibha replied. hello SM and Sharika
Difference between biryani and palov is palov is cooked at one step like putting all veggies and masala at a time where as biryani is cooked in two steps or more like the curry is cooked seperate based on veg or non-veg and rice is perpared seperate then both are layered one over the other and steamed.Hope this helps..here is an easy palov reciepe try it and let me know so tht i will post biryani reciepe.

veg.palov
1.rice-1cup
2.veggies of ur choice-1/2 cup
3.whole garam masala(cloves,cardomams(elachi green or white),dalchini,bay leaf)
4.ghee/oil/butter-3 tbs
5.nuts(optional)
6.ginger/garlic paste-1tbs,salt to taste
method:
put ghee in a pan where u wish to cook the palov when hot put whole garam masala proportionate to the rice,gingergarlic paste,veggies fry for a min till aroma comes out put rice and fry for one more min and put 2 cups water put salt to taste and bring to a rolloing boil then reduce the flame and close the lid tightly so tht steam wont escape after 5 to 10 min stir the rice with a spoon if all the water is absorbed your rice turns fluffy and seperate stir the rice evenly with out breaking and close the lid again till u serve.Transfer the contents into rice cooker after adding water if cooking in electric cooker. sharika replied. hi sm
