Soya Chunks Pulao

Soya Chunks Pulao is a simple and mild pulao recipe with coconut milk.I usually add soya chunks to vegetable biryani or on very rare ocassions make soya chunks biryani.Last week when my neighbour shared thenga paal sadam which had soya chunks and peas, I just loved it, it was so tasty. Amma makes thenga paal sadam without any veggies so the idea of adding soya chunks and peas was new to me so tried the same and it came out soo good.This is a very easy one pot meal that you can make for lunch, just get reasy with coconut milk and cooked soya then you are done with this pulao in minutes,You can pair it up with some spicy curry.

Soya Chunks Pulao

My Notes:

  • Soaking rice helps in getting grains separated and also soft texture.
  • Adding garam masala powder is optional.
  • You can increase coconut milk and reduce water quantity accordingly, nut don’t add more than 1/2 cup coconut milk else the rice will become sticky.
  • If you are using the bigger variety of soya chunks, chop them into 2 then add it.
  • The number of whistles depends on your pressure cooker and also the variety of basmati rice that you are using.
