Kashmiri Pulao | Kashmiri Pulav

Whenever I visit restaurants, Kashmiri pulao is one dish in menu card which attracts me, with a lot of mixed nuts with fruits. Usually for weekend/special lunch I prepare dishes like Bisi Bele bath or Vegetable Biryani, but this time I wanted to spend less time in kitchen, and still have some exotic dish. Suddenly I remembered seeing kashmiri pulao recipe in Sharmis passion. I followed her recipe, making a few changes.

Kashmiri Pulao

Preparation Time : 10 mins | Soaking time : 30 mins | Cooking Time : 20 – 25 mins | Serves : 2

Recipe Category: Entree

Ingredients:

Basmati Rice – 1 cup (Soaked and drained)

Milk – 1 cup

Water – 1 cup

Saffron – 1/8 tsp

Ghee / Oil – 2 tbsp (I used ghee)

Cinnamon – 1/2 piece

Cloves – 2

Fennel Seed powder – 1/4 tsp

Cardamom – 2 pods

Grapes – 1/2 cup

Pomegranate – 1/4 cup

Nuts – 1/2 cup (Almonds, Cashews and Walnuts)

Raisins – 2 tbsp

Salt – as needed

Sugar – 1/4 tsp (Optional)

Method:

  • Soak saffron in milk for 10 minutes
  • Add 1 tbsp ghee to the pan. When its hot, add whole spices (Cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and fennel seeds) and saute for minute. Add rice and saute for 1-2 minutes

  • Add milk, water, saffron and salt, and close the lid. Switch off after the rice is cooked

  • Spread the rice in a wide pan and set aside

  • Add ghee to the pan, once the ghee is hot add the nuts and saute till they are crunchy. Add raisin at the end as they cook soon. Add fruits and nuts to the rice pan after rice is cooled (Adding fruits when is rice is hot makes the pulao watery) and gently mix. Easy and yummy pulao is ready:-) Serve it with any gravy. We had with Malai Kofta ( Recipe coming up soon:-))

My Notes:

  • Add fruits of your choice. Apple, pineapple, grapes,pomegranate etc. can be added
  • Instead of using whole spices, you can also use garam masala
  • Instead of cooking rice directly, you can also pressure cook or use slow cooker

Glad to send this recipe for Kids Lunch Box ideas Contest of IndusLadies

    I really love nuts in everything, including the idea of adding them to a stir-fry or rice dish as you have done here. You’ll have to let me know your thoughts on my fried rice dish with nuts and curry – I plan on posting it in a few days. Thanks for always fantastic recipes! Best,

    I’m totally with you. Pulao is a great way to measure the ability of a restaurant to make good food. This looks so delicious. The spices are perfect and i love the addition of the grapes.
