Recipe Notes
This apple pulao is a keeper for sure. Kids will definitely love this sweet and a little tangy pulao for a change. Choose a bit sweeter apples rather than the too tangy ones. And also if you are using raw rice instead of cooked rice, add maggi cubes to the water. It tastes yum. Besides you can also use variety of apples for this pulao.
Additional Tips
- For extra crunch and a nutty dimension, stir in a handful of toasted cashews or slivered almonds just before serving.
- If you prefer a slightly sweeter pulao, sauté a few raisins along with the onions—their subtle sweetness pairs beautifully with the tartness of green apples.
- To prevent the apples from turning mushy, add them towards the end of the cooking process and cook just until they are warmed through but still retain their shape and bite.
- For a vegan version, substitute ghee with coconut oil or a neutral-flavored plant-based oil; coconut oil will add a subtle fragrance that complements the apple and spices.
