Egg Pulao

I was tired of the same old food i make and since its the end of the week, i happened to be low on groceries too. I was surfing the net for something new to try out that did not me to make a visit to the grocery store and came upon this recipe for egg pulao that turned out really well.

There were a few changes that i made though :

Reading the comments from the users i decided to add 2 1/2 cups of water and 1 cup of tinned coconut milk instead of the 2 1/2 cups of water and 2 tablespoons of coconut powder as given in the recipe and found that i had to add at least 1/2 a cup more in the last process to get the rice to cook totally. I suppose there are various factors that contribute to the rice cooking well and the heat may have played a role in evaporating the water faster. The brand of rice also makes a big difference.

I also observed that some of the comments mentioned that they found the pulao a little bland so i added a little more garam masala powder (1/2 tsp) and it turned out quite good. I had to do without the coriander leaves unfortunately.

It is definitely a recipe worth trying out!
