Aloo Gobi Pulao

Is there anyone who doesn’t love potatoes!! It is one of my fav veggies! No matter how it’s cooked I love it!! This rice is so flavorful with spicy fried potatoes and cauliflower with very few spices! Great way to include veggies in kids’ tummy is by such hiding game!!

A quick fix meal if you have some leftover ghee rice! Normally in pulao veggies and rice are cooked together, but in this pulao, the cooked rice is adding to the masala to get that exact fried flavors from the veggies and it tasted really awesome! My family loved it!

I made it a little spicy by adding more green chiles as I was too lazy to make any side dish! You can serve it with boiled egg along with raita and achar and your wholesome lunch is ready! It has a unique flavor with the bits of fried potatoes and cauliflower! It is a must try recipe if you love that combination!
