This is a simple pulao fit for everyday as well as a festive meal. This is easy to prepare and can be made in about 45 minutes from start to finish. This rice is vegan and can be served with vegan kurma. This can be served with raita too if preferred.
Simple meals are always comforting and more flavorful. This vegan pulao is just an example. This is easily made using canned coconut milk. Fresh coconut milk can also be used to cook the rice. The use of canned one makes it easier to cook this in a short time. Coconut milk gives a distinct flavor and do not skip that. It is essential for the flavor of this pulao.
This entire Thali is based on Christmas theme. I wanted to feature meals keeping the white color as that of snow as the theme. The entire thali is not vegan though this rice is. This can be served with Aloo Kurma which I would share next.
For this week's Blogging Marathon, I am sharing recipes for Christmas meals. I have shared the season's perfect Eggless Peppermint Cake. I am sharing this vegan Coconut milk pulao for the same event.
Vegan Cranberry Biriyani is another tasty and festive rice. Beetroot Pulao is another vegan pulao without using coconut milk. The tastes are different yet delicious. This pulao can be made with addition of turmeric and veggies. If you are in a hurry, use canned veggies and here is a Pulao from a Can, using canned veggies and coconut milk,which is also vegan.
I am also linking this to Sundays on Silverado and Happiness is Homemade.
