Notes

We can use basmati rice or ordinary rice to make Pulav. But if we are using Basmati Rice then soak the rice for about 30- 40 minutes as soaking makes the grain longer while cooking. Pulav can also be made in a pressure cooker. Just follow the first four steps and pressure cook for about 4 whistles and reduce little water if required. Always the water quantity should be double the amount of rice quantity. If we are using one cup of rice then use two cups of water when cooking in a cooking pot or any heavy bottom pan.When you are adding garam masala spices we can use the spices of our choice but the one I have used give a good flavor but we can add more spices if one intends to.
