Notes

  1. Add fruits of your choice. You can also add grapes, mango, etc. add only before serving
  2. Instead of using whole spices, you can also use garam masala
  3. If you are planning to cook rice in the pressure cooker or direct pan adjust water accordingly
  4. 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
  5. You can add roasted onion
  6. Vegetakes of choice can be added
  7. Avoid adding more turmeric powder as it might alter pulao taste
  8. You can add Green chilli according to your taste
