shahi pulao recipe | shahi veg pulao | hyderabadi veg pulav recipe with step by step photo and video recipe. pulao or rice-based recipes are one of the important staple food for many indian households. the plain rice is typically consumed with lentil-based curry or any gravy based curry, but the pulao recipe is typically served as one pot meal without any sides. one such simple and easy pulav recipe is shahi pulao recipe known for its rich and mildly spicy taste.

this recipe has a strong resemblance to the kashmiri pulao and to the navaratan pulao recipe. as a matter of fact, i would jump to this conclusion that this recipe is a combination of both with a hint of hyderabadi cuisine touch to it. basically i have added all the necessary dry fruits, raisin and saffron milk for the rich and royal taste to it. but for the hyderabadi taste, i have added the pudina/mint and coriander leaves. the rice would automatically inherit the mild green colour and flavour of these herbs. thus making one of the unique and tasty pulao recipes. having said that some may complain about the sweet taste it gets from the dry fruit inclusion, but that is how the recipe is made.

furthermore, i would like to add some more tips, suggestions and variations to this shahi pulao recipe. firstly, i would heavily recommend to make this recipe using basmati and avoid other rice variations. however, if you do not have access to basmati, you can use sona masuri rice as its alternative. secondly, adding veggies is open-ended and hence you can add as per your preference. but while adding these veggies, make sure to dice them in a medium shape and do not dice in big size. lastly, once the rice is rested, it may lose its moisture and rice may end up being dry and difficult to chew. you may need to microwave it by sprinkling some water on top of it.
