  • soak rice only for 20 minutes to fasten the cooking process.
  • when you sauté dry spice, it infuses its flavor into pulao.
  • sauté soaked rice gently, so ghee coats rice properly.
  • with 1 glass of rice, take 2 glasses of water, or in a pressure cooker with 1 glass of water take 1.5 glasses of water.
for kadhi
  • there are no lumps in kadhi mixture.
  • in kadhi mixture, with 1 cup curd take 3 cups of water.
  • while boiling kadhi, stir the mixture continuously.
  • cook kadhi for 5 minutes, so it will slightly thicken and absorb tempering flavor.
