This pulao is a simple one made with basmati rice, whole spices, and Maggi stock cubes. Maggi cubes add a nice flavor and taste to the pulao. I made it today along with Khatti dal and achari paneer. It’s so easy to make and the best pulao recipe for bachelors and newbies to cooking. you can also pair it with a spicy gravy or korma. I used a vegetable Maggi stock cube, you can use the stock cube of your choice.
