Notes

1. You can also  grind onion and green Chilli, and make pulav
2. If you don't gave croutons add fried bread for extra crisp
3. You can saute cashew and add for extra crunch
4. Fried onions can be added to garnish
5. Can cook pulav  in heavy-bottomed pan or rice cooker with 1:2 water
6. For the instant pot version no need to soak the rice. use 1 cup + 1/4 cup water and cook on manual mode 5 minutes, high temperature and natural release
7. Adjust the water according to the basmati rice you use. For kids' easy digestion I prefer 1:2 water. You can add 1:1/2 ratio rice: water if you prefer not so soft cooked rice
8. Paneer and mushroom can be added
9. Instead of adding whole spices, you can add garam masala powder
10. Ginger garlic paste can be used instead of fresh garlic and ginger powder
