Indians just love to eat rice. Whether you are in the North or South, East or West of the country, you can always count on finding some delicious pulao recipes. Indian rice recipes are known for their different flavours. Some of these rice pulao recipes are extravagant like the biryanis and shahi pulaos. But the regular rice pulao recipes are usually cooked with single kind of spice or ingredient for flavouring.

We know you won't find time to make shahi pulao every day. But some rice pulao recipes are so easy that they can be prepared on a regular basis at home.
