Add fruits of your choice. You can also add grapes, mango, etc. add only before serving
Instead of using whole spices, you can also use garam masala
If you are planning to cook rice in the pressure cooker or direct pan adjust water accordingly
The pineapple I used was sweet. If the pineapple you use is sour, use 1/2 cup instead of 3/4 cup and add extra sugar
You can add roasted onion
Vegetakes of choice can be added
Avoid adding more turmeric powder as it might alter pulao taste
You can add Green chilli according to your taste
