Navaratna pulao

 

9ratna pulao




















Navratna pulao is a non-spicy but fragrant and exquisite recipe for pulao. Whole spices are there, like green cardamom, cinnamon, cloves and bay leaves, which impart flavor rather than heat. There is no spicy chili, peppers and ginger or garlic, used in this recipe.

 In fact, its flavor profile is somewhat on sweeter side, because of the use of nuts, raisins, cherries and saffron milk. And that's exactly how it should be, soft, rich, flavourful and mild taste.
