Quick and Easy Bengali special Yellow Pulao : - 

This is a very tasty pulao recipe which I have made in pressure cooker to save time.You can make the same pulao without pressure cooker too in kadai / pan.

This is No Onion & No Garlic Pulao Recipe. It is quite easy to make and is very aromatic and flavourful. It is yellow is colour and hence the name basanti pulao where basanti in bengali refers to yellow colour.

This rice is specially made during puja / puja festivals or in special ocassions. 
This pulao tastes great with both vegetarian and non -vegetarian dishes.

You can have this with vegetarian dishes like dum aloo and paneer.If it is for puja usually this pulao is served with dum aloo and paneer which are also made without onion and garlic.

It will also taste quite good with chicken and mutton curry too.
