Recipe Notes
Additional Tips
- For extra crunch and depth of flavor, toss the peanuts in a teaspoon of ghee or coconut oil and roast them until golden before adding them to the pulao; this prevents them from softening when mixed with the rice.
- If you prefer a spicier pulao, try adding a teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper or a pinch of red chili flakes along with the green chillies for a subtle heat boost that complements the sweetness of the carrots.
- To make this dish vegan, ensure you use oil instead of ghee for tempering the spices and roasting the peanuts; coconut oil adds a lovely aroma that pairs well with the carrots and peanuts.
- For a vibrant presentation, garnish the pulao just before serving with a sprinkle of finely chopped fresh coriander and a handful of pomegranate seeds for a pop of color and a burst of tangy sweetness.
