 An easy and simple flavoured rice recipe made with long-grain rice, a choice of vegetables, and fresh herbs. It is one of the popular rice variants or choices for many Indians and is often served for lunch and dinner.  The simple pulao recipes do not contain all the required flavour and spice and can be served as it is, but they taste great when served with simple yoghurt raita or curd.
