Recipe of the day: Vegetable Pulao



Hello foodies! After quite long time, I’m here! Hope you all are doing great and eating deliciously!

Every year, the month June and Monsoon comes together with so many happiness! It is a very busy and festive month for me. My Birthday and Marriage anniversary, both fall in this month. Also, Father’s Day falls this month as well. So, all the month I become very busy in shopping and cooking and of course in traveling! And so, I can’t manage enough time to blog.

 

 

Well, today I’m going to share two recipes, that I have cooked for my father in Father’s Day. My Baba is a big foodie and always loves to taste whatever I cook. Now he is 72 years old and his diet is restricted. So, I cooked Vegetable Pulao in a healthy way with Dam Aloo in Bengali style. Try it, I think you will love it………….
