- To make this recipe vegan, simply use oil instead of ghee and pair the pulav with a coconut-based raita or spiced vegan yogurt on the side.
- Leftover Tondali Bhaat can be used to make crispy rice patties—just shape into small discs, pan-fry until golden, and serve with chutney for a delicious snack or breakfast.
