CHANNA PULAO

 

 

Channa Pulao is one of the tastiest and protein filled Pulaos I have ever tasted.I learnt this from my friend who told me how she made her her son who is a real fussy eater made this to eat. I am always on the look out for various nutritious and filling recipes for kids to with stand hunger pangs in schools or colleges.My daughter has very tight schedules and and leaves early in the morning for college and has to travel a bit too.So keeping that in mind I try to include in her diet sufficient  balance of all dietary requirements.This pulao is healthy, has less oil and above all quick one pot meal, see below the easy recipe of channa pulao and let me know.

Notes

If you want you can add green peas and red capsicum to look more colourful.

Boondi raita tastes best with this pulao.Any raita would do.

Adding turmeric powder adds a nice colour.
