Lilva Pulao is made with fresh toor lilva with whole spices and makes a quick one pot meal for a packed lunch.
As I had said, I was keen on making Lobia Pulao and it got changed when I heard that Vaishali was visiting us and she could get me some fresh toor lilva. We mostly get fresh toor during December – Jan months. We mostly make Kurmas with it and I personally never thought of a rice dish. Our most treasured Podi makes use of toor and when we had visited my SIL, I saw the fresh Toor plant.
The Mega Marathon surely makes think in different ways. I made the pulao for the elders at home and when I went back home in the evening, I came to know that even the twins had it and wanted more.
They were at home for Summer Vacation and generally want something or the other for snacks. However for lunch Hubby Dear made them eat this and they wanted more. I will surely got to repeat this as I still have some more frozen.
I made this pulao quite spicy as I was pairing it with just onion raitha. This makes a filling meal by itself.
