Egg Omelette Pulao / One pot meal / Lunch box recipe


If you have picky eater at home, who picks all the veggies and spices from biryani or pulao. Then try this, flavorful and interesting pulao using egg omelette and serve with raita. The spices are ground into fine paste along with onions and tomatoes is further sauteed in an oil to give a beautiful aroma while cooking. In addition, this method enhances the taste too. Even the omelette in the pulao tastes very delicious as the flavor mixed up with it while cooking. This rice can be served with any varieties of raita like onion raita, pomegranate raita etc. I have used regular rice in this recipe which can also be substituted with basmati rice to make it more flavorful.
