Tawa Pulao

Tawa pulao is my favourite dish to make whenever I am board with regular rice dish and  if I don't want to cook. The process looks time consuming but no other pulao is quicker than tawa pulao. 

This is street side vendors make this pulao. They use huge iron tawa (griddle) to make pav bhaji, masala pav, and tawa pulao. Basically they mix pre boild vegetables in to cooked plain white rice with lots of tomato and pav bhaji masala. Hence this is also known as tomato pulao or pav bhaji pulao. Nice aromatic tummy filling dish is served with raita or even plain yoghurt, even can be enjoyed alone itself.

The basic pulao is made only with vegetables but now days paneer (cottage cheese) or chopped eggs can be added as per demand.

I did not find tawa pulao out of India at any restaurant but at India you will find this everywhere. You will see pav bhaji vendors making lots of spoon noise on their huge tawa and spreading the aroma of tawa pulao and Pav bhaji. You can guess from miles that someone is making tawa pulao by it's aroma.

The recipe is so simple and quick even you can try it at home. Just buy pav bhaji masala from Indian grocery store or any Asian store. Try it out I am sure you will love this simple to make aromatic rice dish.

Happy eating foodies!!! 😊
