Recipe Notes
Additional Tips
- For extra flavor and aroma, lightly toast the peanuts and pistachios in a dry pan before adding them to the pulao; this also enhances their crunch.
- If you prefer a tangy note to balance the sweetness of apples, add a handful of dried cranberries or a splash of lemon juice just before serving.
- For a vegan version, ensure your pulao is cooked in oil rather than ghee, and consider adding sautéed tofu cubes for extra protein.
- To preserve the apples’ crunch, add them towards the end of cooking and toss gently to avoid breaking them apart.
