Coriander Rice Pulao is very simple and flavourful rice which you can serve with plain yoghurt. And you don’t need to search for any side dish to this rice. Whenever I am very busy and there no veggies to cook, this pulao comes very handy. It takes hardly 25 -30 minutes to prepare this rice. This pulao is perfect for kid’s lunch box and picnic too.
First time, I am taking part in the Mega Blogging Marathon hosted by Srivalli. I am very excited as for this whole April month we will be coming up with full Biryani, Pulao and Kichadi recipes. So, don’t forget to come and check every day for delicious recipes. Except for Sunday, we all are taking part in the Marathon.
