Methi Pulao

Firstly, you can use any vegetable of your choice, like carrot, beans, fresh green peas, potato, sweet corn etc. However whatever the vegetables you add, the taste of methi or fenugreek leaves.

Whenever I buy fenugreek leaves, the first thing that comes to mind is methi thepla and methi pulao. Fenugreek rice is a comfort food when served with cucumber raita. I love all types of pulao. I have already posted recipe for Paneer Pulao | Paneer Rice.

Furthermore, Fenugreek rice is a good option for kids lunch box. It’s a one pot dish, which can be prepared in few minutes. either you can prepare this in pressure cooker or instant pot.

Some quick tips or variations you can do are, I have used ghee to prepare this pulao. You can also make use of ghee instead of oil. Moreover you don’t need to chop the Fenugreek/ Methi leaves. Just remove the stem and wash them well in salt water to get rid of impurities.

Ensure the methi leaves are fresh, crispy and well washed. It is essential to wash any green leafy vegetable extremely well.
