Channa Pulao Recipe

Channa Pulao is always my favorite….I have made it 2-3 times in pressure cooker but this time I wanted to try it in tawa and it came so good…easy to make too.Though I make chana biryani often this chana pulao is always my quick fix whenever I am pressed for time. This is a perfect lunchbox recipe too, do try this easy pulao recipe. We had it vegetable kurma and sweet lassi…it was a satisfying lunch.

My Notes:

  • You can even add mint leaves for extra flavour.
  • You can make in pressure cooker too giving 3 whistles in low medium flame.Water is 1.5 cups if you have pre-soaked the rice for 30mins.
  • You can even use white channa instead of black channa.
  • You can even add 1/2 cup coconut milk and add 1 and 1/2 cups water in total.
