Normally when we make Biryanis or Pulaos, we add a generous quantity of spices and Ginger- Garlic paste. The Biryani or Pulao made in that way is flavorful and goes well with sweet Raita. We can eat it without any side dish. Eaten by itself the Pulao is extremely flavorful and one can taste the uniqueness of all the spices. Even if you eat a little more than what you do usually, your tummy is only going to be a happy tummy, with no side effects.

Mostly we cook rice with a overload of spices, and add some more spices and oil; and then we eat this with spicy curries or gravies. It is all very good on the tongue but the results of this over spicy eating are problematic. The stomach gets distended with gas, and you feel excessively thirsty. If you are facing this kind of problems, try my recipe for non- onion, non- garlic, mildly flavored Pulao with Tomato and Coconut milk. It is so tasty and sweet on the tongue and it a Happy tummy food.

Tips

Coconut Milk:

• I have made a fine paste by grinding fresh coconut with a little water and then extracting Coconut milk by straining the ground paste through a muslin cloth. This is thick Coconut milk. Mix some more water in the leftover paste and squeeze again to get a thinner second extract. I have used the sweet and fresh first extract Coconut milk for this Pulao recipe.

Tomato:

• You may us any variety of Tomato. I have used the sour local (Desi) variety. Just be sure to use ripe, red Tomatoes to get a nice sour taste and fresh red colour.

A few more Tips:

• I have used daily cooking rice, You may use Basmati Rice if you feel like it.

• If you are using the ordinary rice, remember to take two measures of liquid (Water, Coconut Milk, Tomato pulp taken together) to one measure of rice. I have used more of Coconut Milk and less of water and Tomato pulp.

• If you are using Basmati Rice, take only ½ cup of water and the rest of the measure can remain the same.

• I am cooking the Pulao in an open vessel. You may use a cooker, in which case, allow for three whistles before lowering the heat. If you are using Basmati rice, just two whistles will do.

Another Method:

• If you are planning to serve the Pulao with a spicy curry, then follow the method I have indicated below. However, if you wish to have a more rich and spicy Pulao, feel free to fry an onion to a nice brown, add Ginger-Garlic paste and add some more of all the masalas.
