Pulao is a fragrant rice dish originating from South Asia, often enjoyed in Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi cuisines. It features basmati rice cooked with aromatic spices such as cumin, cardamom, cinnamon, and bay leaves, alongside a blend of vegetables like peas, carrots, and beans or proteins such as chicken, lamb, or legumes. Sometimes, nuts like cashews and raisins are added for extra flavor and texture. Pulao is prized for its delicate balance of taste and nutrition. The inclusion of vegetables and lean proteins makes it a wholesome meal, providing dietary fiber, vitamins, and essential nutrients. However, aspects such as oil content and the use of refined rice may reduce its nutritional value if consumed in excess. Opting for minimal oil and brown rice can make this dish a heart-healthy choice. Whether served as a main dish or side, Pulao is a versatile favorite across generations and cultures.
