Beetroot Pulao /Beetroot Rice


For the second of the pick one and do different category theme wanted to try a one pot meal with beetroot.
This pulao is a great option for for lunch box and no fancy ingredients needed to make.Here I used coconut milk to give a rich taste.If you want you can skip and use water.This pulao has a mildly sweet and spicy.A simple raita makes a great accompaniment,even it tastes well with chips.Off to the recipe.................................................
