Recipe Notes
Additional Tips
- For extra flavor, toast the grated coconut in a little desi ghee until golden before mixing it into the rice—this will intensify the coconut aroma and add a subtle nuttiness.
- If you prefer crispier gatta, shallow-fry the steamed gatta pieces in ghee or oil until golden before adding them to the pulav, adding an appealing texture contrast.
- To infuse authentic South Indian flavor, temper mustard seeds, curry leaves, and a pinch of hing (asafoetida) in hot ghee, then pour this tempering over the finished pulav before serving.
- This pulav pairs exceptionally well with a tangy tomato or mint chutney; for a richer experience, serve alongside a cool cucumber raita spiked with roasted cumin powder.
