Beetroot pulao Ingredients
Basmati Rice - To attain the best results, the basmati rice should be fragrant and long-grained. The best results will come from aged basmati rice. Even though I prefer to use basmati rice, but any variety of rice can be used. You can adjust the water level accordingly.
Beetroots - Beetroots are high in fibre, vitamins, and iron, and are a good source of these nutrients. It adds a wonderful sweet taste and colour to your pulao.
Spices - whole spices like cinnamon, cardamom and fennel adds aroma and flavour
Onions - thinly sliced onions is sauted in oil or ghee to form the base. It adds unique aroma and taste to the dish.
