Baby Corn Pulao

April 29, 2015 Baby CornBiryani/PulaoRice Varieties  11 comments

I always love to make one pot meals. The reason behind it is, cooking gets over very quickly, and the best part is I dont have to wash too many vessels.. This Baby Corn Pulao is one such easy and quick rice variety that can be made in a jiffy.
