A few recipes back there was a post on the Chicken Pulao (click here). Pulao is a rice dish which is common in many South and Central Asian cuisines and has the same roots as the Pilaf, the latter being more popular in Central Asia. As I mentioned in that previous post and I will re-quote it here. “There are numerous ways of cooking Pulao, and no particular traditional form, neither is there any particular ingredient for the pulao.” Though the word Pulao is believed to have a Sanskrit root and means cooking rice and meat together, over the centuries many vegetarian versions have evolved. One of the most popular vegetarian versions of the pulao is the Zafrani Pulao.
