Mixed Bean Pulao /Navadhaniya Pulao



Mixed bean pulao is a delectable one pot delicacy,in which rice is cooked along with mixed beans and mild spices.
It is a well balanced and fulfilling dish,tastes divine when paired with raita.This pulao is an ideal dish to cook on a lazy day,as it takes less than 30 minutes to cook in a pressure cooker,if the legumes/beans are soaked. Here I have used black,white channa,green,white peas,pigeon peas,rajma,mochai,black eye beans,mung beans.One can simply soak the mixed beans and make the pulao.No proportions are measurements need to be perfect for the amount of beans,just add them how you would like. Here is the recipe for quick,easy and protein packed pulao.
