VEG PULAV

Pulav is made in different ways in different places by different people world wide. All this time I was following my sister in law Roopa R Bhat's awesome recipe. Today I prepared it making it a little more spicy, adding more pepper corns. I love eating peppercorns in the pulav....these corns get fried and cooked well... My daughter had a habit of throwing these corns but now she eats..says  this is really tasty and yumm ..yummy..yummy
