Tawa pulao recipe

Originated on the streets of Mumbai, this pulao has created a benchmark in every Mumbaikar’s list of food. We all love the flavour, the aroma and the taste.

Tawa pulao has a very unique taste due to the pav bhaji masala used in it. Famously made on a huge tawa so the name Tawa pulao. You can use kadhai as huge Tawa is only owned by street vendors. The taste is very much the same, so no worries.

The veggies used are the same as the ones in pav bhaji. The trick here is the butter is used not oil, if want you can divide half portion with butter n half with oil.

This recipe requires cooked rice, one can use leftover rice or just cook the rice two hours before making Tawa pulao.

Simple and easy rice or say one-pot recipe, enjoy this with some pickled onions.
