Directions
Bulgur Pulao,If you are trying to include other grains in your diet, make pulao(seasoned rice) with bulgur, wheat kernels that have been parboiled and dried. Serve with any vegetable and plain yogurt.,I do not understand using 6 cups of water for 1 cup of rice and 1 1/4 cup of bulgur. If the grains have been rinsed, I would use 4 cups of water. The key is to reduce the heat when the water boils. Perhaps you cooked on high heat.,I made this for lunch this afternoon. used 1 cup white Basmati rice, 6 cups of water(3 cups was way too less!), 2 onions(chopped), 1 1/4 cups bulgur(toasted in my oven for 3 minutes on HIGH and then coarsely ground in my mixie), 2 cups mixed vegetables(used a combo of grated carrots, French beans and green peas), 1 1/4 tbsps. oil, 1 1/2 tsp. cumin seeds, 1 tsp. garam masala powder and 2 1/2 tsps.+3/4 tsp. salt. I followed all the steps as they have been given. I garnished my pulao with freshly cut corriander leaves instead of cashews(as we’re all fighting the battle of the bulge in the family). I, for sure, loved the pulao, but my dad didn’t said it could be improved by adding in a bayleaf and a green cardamom after step 2. My mom said it could be improved by making it a little spicy. She suggested adding in 1/2 tsp. minimum of red chilli powder or a slit green chilli or two. I loved it as it was. Thank You for sharing!
