How long should I soak rice?
I generally soak rice for about 5 minutes. Soak rice then immediately prepare saffron milk, saute fruits and nuts; cook pulao
Will the rice turn soggy if I pack it for lunch?
Since we saute apple and pineapple it won’t turn soggy even after hours. If you are planning to use mangoes or other seasonal fruits, pack them separately
CAN I COOK Kashmiri PULAO IN THE pressure cooker?
Yes, for the pressure cooker version soak the rice for 20 minutes. use 1/2 cup water instead of 1/4 cup and cook for 2 whistles and do natural pressure release.
CAN I COOK saffron PULAO IN OIL?
Yes, using Ghee is optional but it gives a good flavor to the pulav. You can use oil for cooking and add a few drops of ghee for aroma.
