Beetroot Pulao is a easy and perfect lunch box recipe. My kids generally love to eat beet root. I usually make Beetroot poriyal. For a change just tried beetroot pulao. I added some green peas and frozen corn too. We had this for a week day lunch. As the kids have holidays now, i just went out with them and after we came home i made this easy and simple pulao. It was a super hit at my house and on kids request i made this again. I too clicked the pictures on that day. Do try this for the lunch box and i am sure kids and even adults will love this beetroot pulao a lot.
I have scheduled few posts for the next 2 weeks and few complied posts for weekend Indian cooking basics too. We are going to Chennai for 2 weeks on a vacation. I will not be so prompt in replying mails and please bear with me.
