• I have used fresh orange juice without adding sugar. If you are using store-brought juice, use unsweetened
• Pulav can also be cooked in Rice cooker or pressure cooker
• If you are using dry peas, cook it separately and add it to the pulav
• Saffron gives nice color to the rice. Pinch of turmeric powder can be added instead
• Vegetables like carrot, beans, potato, corn, bell pepper extra can be added
• Cashew, almond can be added for extra crunch
• If you prefer the pulav to be slightly sweet, pineapple, raisin, apple etc. can be added towards the end
