A concoction of rice, dal, mixed veggies, saffron and fried onions, is layered with a rich gravy made with onion paste, and baked in an oven. This is a relatively easy-to-make main course, but the effect is grand because baking creates a ‘dum’ effect in the vegetable and lentil pulao.

The vegetables in this recipe have a nice crunchy texture , the dal and rice is just cooked perfect.A lovely,tangy curd mixture, makes the pulao more tasty.
