AUBERGINE PULAO

                              


                                Today's recipe is another kid-friendly recipe. This is an extremely simple recipe which you can whip up in a few minutes. No need to worry about whether the rice will be over cooked or not, since we are using cooked rice. I usually make such pulao's when I have left over rice from the previous day. Goes really well with a simple raita and poppadums. ;) Meal done.

                                 Vegetarians can just skip the chicken part and proceed with the recipe.
