Spinach Pulao | Palak Pulao Recipe

Pulao or rice dishes are a great way to consume vegetables. They also get ready quickly, provided we have cooked the rice in advance. There are many ways in which we can cook pulao – in a pan or pressure cooker or cook rice and veggies separately. We always cook rice separately for pulao and then add them to the veggies mixture.

Spinach Pulao is very healthy and tasty and is also a great way to consume spinach. This pulao is cooked in spinach puree and it has onions, corn, peas, cabbage and carrots added. You can add any of your favourite vegetables to your pulao. Cashews and raisins will also go very well with the recipe.
