[francisf56]

Excellent, you make it sound so simple. It's very easy to understand. Looks extremely delicious. Will certainly try it out. God bless you.

[littlegoateater]

Loved this video auntie! Instead of using three tablespoons of oil for both rice and vegetables, can I try using 2 tablespoons? To cut on the fat? Maybe for liquid I could add a table spoon of vegetable broth to the veggies so they do not stick to the pan?

[iroc31407]

namaste manjula...i just want to say that your recipes have made my lifestyle so enjoyable. i love how you show the versatility in vegan/vegetarian dishes. not only are your creations tasty, but they are also beautiful and so well explained. i am always excited to see new recipes from you. thank you so much.

[tanzinababes]

Can we use ghee instead of oil ?

[Manjulaskitchen]

@tanzinababes

Yes you can use ghee

[Genevee1]

@Manjulaskitchen if i soak the rice to get out the starch will i still have alot of carbs left ??

[jussymust]

Thank you so much! I was able to cook something nice for me and my wife while she was busy studying for her exam. 

[eskivanille]

Thanks a lot and Namaste

[Limelights1]

So you don't have to pre-boil the rice before mixing it with the masala?

[Limelights1]

Do you need to use the black cardamom? Can you substitute it with the green cardamom? 

[amitcont2395]

dear manjula... i really love your recepies. they are all nice & easy to make...

[Snowysharvary]

Hi.. nice video. why dont u wont use any masala for pulav.?. this is just like veg fried rice...

[araasee]

ur videos are wonderful.easy to follow and they all look so yummy! I'm trying this for my family tonight. Thansk aunty

[zsingergrl]

I wish to know what type of oil do you recommend? Thank you.

[nkrglasgow]

@zsingergrl Normal vegetable oil works just fine... 

[ASHISHKIRORI]

mam if we cook rice in microwave, will it be ok or we should prefer rice-cooker, pan etc.?

[ASHISHKIRORI]

Thank you mam... I am now rushing to kitchen and try your recipe..

[dc003864]

Aunty thank you so much ! Aap bohot pyaree hai !

[satyajeetsra]

Hello mam, how about adding some turmeric?

[Manjulaskitchen]

@satyajeetsra

adding some turmeric will provide the nice color

[mansh99]

O aunty ji , i love your reciepe just like my moms, i would like if you could use indian names for the ingredients,. Seen many pulav reciepes this was best even better then sanjeev kapoor thanks .

[rnair23]

Aunty, thank you so much. One question - will onion make the flavor better ?

[Manjulaskitchen]

@rnair23 Personal choice

[nkrglasgow]

@rnair23

I guess she's using the jain way of cooking... No Garlic and no onion.... Both of these can be added to the pulav... Go easy on the onion though.... It tends to give a sweetness to the dish that people do not like... Happy Cooking!!!

[mkapoor22]

Hello Auntiji

I tried this recipe and it  was excellent. thanks for uploading. God bless u

[lenanana8]

Namaste, Auntie!

Good directions, I will try this. Is it possible to use garlic when frying?

[rahuls2111]

Manjula ji, me and my wife are joining your fan club!! You are brilliant!! We have tried several of your recipes and they all taste heavenly!

[WanderingGnome]

You are inspiring me to be more creative w/ food. Love your pans and the music in the background.

I just subscribed.

[arvpinky]

Hello,

Can you please show how to make khichdi.

[imanumeed]

i have tried some recipes of urs, i like the way u explain evrythin

[wca1234]

oh wow that looks great. thanks for the vid. I order this all the time when I go out for an indian meal and now I'm so making this rice dish!

[ChiomaxD]

Haha! U better! It tastes great and ur tastebuggs would be in heaven! Even dough I am not from India, I love Indian food, esspecially vegetarian, spicy food! I meen, who doesn't!? Anyway good luck at the kitchen, if u already haven't made the dish, dough!:-)

[patdeval]

one of the easiet way to keep rice seperate, is boil the water first, then add rice and cook on mid-hig flame, when its boiling add little oil, when it cooked remove the excess water by draining them using draining bowl. I do this every time they are just lovely seperate... try this i hope this will help.

[AksheeShadow]

Thanks a lot auntiji. The videos are great.

Are you a jain though? I have noticed you do not use onions and garlic at all in the food.

[ShubhpreetC]

Hello aunty!! How do you keep the rice seperate? They always end up all sticky!!

[gemphu1234]

Keep the water and rice ratio as shown here.And always take a good quality rice.

Basmati rice is very less sticky.

[mjshaheed]

Hi Shubhpreet,

From my cooking experience, you should not stir the rice often...once in a while gently stir the content...i hope this helps...a

[nonamechannel]

@ShubhpreetC. Make sure the water is of right quantity and cook in low heat (It will take longer time) and don't open the lid often. This will let the steam out. Cooking in low heat + plus right amount of water is key.

[srunig]

Wow one of the simplest recipe for pulao. I loved it... I will do this soon! I slightly fry vegetables and rice and cook them together in rice cooker... may be now I shud cook both of them separately using your tips... Thanks ma'am!

[chka2610]

thank you Manjula!!

[rekkhabusy]

nice nice nice nice nice, very nice presentation, simply superb, yummy pulao, instead of using 3spoon oil, i will use 1spoon, since i am on dieting, you cooked the rice nicely without using the electric or pressure cooker. good. thanks manjula, keep up your good work.

[Muneera26]

I've been looking for a mexican vegetable rice I tried once, wondering if its going to be the same.

[MaamsJoan]

Excellent directions! I am going to try it this weekend. Only question is: can you make the rice in a rice cooker?

[Manjulaskitchen]

rice cooker will work.

[MaamsJoan]

Tried it this evening!!!! Great great great stuff! A bit to hot (spicy) but still a classic! Love you!

[hcvang]

I would use more rice than what she's using, for that amount of spices.... double the amount of rice.

but I always make for more than one day, anyway

[MaamsJoan]

Worked brilliantly! It ended up a bit hot (spicy) but definitely a great success!!!! Love you Manjula!!!

[TheBelieveingod4ever]

You are the best teacher.

All other videos just shows how to cook.

But you tell so clearly the quantity of ingredients to be used which is really helpful.

My heartfull of thanks to you aunty :)

[ivy9857]

[ivy9857]

[aishaAhmedAli]

[hipretty]

Dear Manjula I love your easy to follow instructions and your gentle way!

Blessings! :-)

[sschopra01]

[Desi4evah]

manjula ji, i see you haven't used any turmeric, red chili powder, and other powdered spices. is there any reason behind that? your recipe looks wonderful. but please do let me know why those spices were avoided.. i will definitely try this. thanks! :)

[KN216]

[avarkey1]

[avarkey1]

[Manjulaskitchen]

[evilbarb]

Thank you for this recipe, I made my own version of this and it came out great. Again, thank you.

[bapannasetti]

Hello Auntiji,

[goelshikha2001]

Nameste auntie! I want to know for how long the rice should be soaked before they are to be fried? can we use wooden spatula to handle fragile soaked rice. Should the whole cold water in which rice are soaked be drained out before being put to hot fry pan?

[Manjulaskitchen]

Use room temperature water to soak rice, rice should be soaked 15 to 30 minutes.

[smithaeee]

just tried your recipe auntie! pulav has come out really well! thanks a ton!!

[makeupalicious69]

I love rice. I will be cooking this recipe. Thanks alot.

[siemprefiel08]

I love this dish I will try to make I hope it come like yours

[yellowjacketpollen]

@Trwlee

BLACK and GREEN CARDAMOM seem very different from each other.

"Unlike green cardamom, black cardamom is rarely used in sweet dishes. Its smoky flavor and aroma derive from traditional methods of drying over open flames." (from WIKI)

They belong to the same family of plants, but they are in different genera.

[sbhuiyan]

Namastay Auntie Gee!!! Love that background music, what is the name of it? Is it kabhi Kabhi?

[loufromlou]

I am absolutely in love with your shows and in love with INDIA!!!!!! I am just a white american and new to all of these recipes and I am so anxious to make all of these recipes for my husband. He took me to an Indian retaurant and I was very hesitant. But as soon as I took that first bite I was addicted. I now have really severe Indian cravings all the time!!!!! Thanks for sharing!

[anaiduwhiteley]

You are such a joy to watch! I love all of your recipes and you make it so simple :)

[rubyrubyru]

i simply love this!

thank u for share your recipes

[pumarox95]

the pulao is very colorful

[pumarox95]

i love all ur recipes aunty...i will keep watching

[ranjanimahesh]

hello aunty, these videos are great! I can cook to an extent, but I really enjoyed watching your recipes. So simple and unassuming. Thank you for these videos!

[Nazzrai]

This is really awesome, I am vegan and I loved the recipe, and I have a cookery contest coming up, so i will try this, but I do have a doubt, which oil is better for cooking as well as for health? Is it olive oil , coconut oil or vegetable/sunflower oil?

Anyway, thank you so much for sharing. It looks delicious, if only we could smell the sweet fragrance while watching this, if only...

Thank you once again.

[boodjagirl]

coconut oil is best, and actually very GOOD for you!! My mother had a problem with high cholesterol, and I told her to eat 2 tbsp. of coconut oil every day. She got off her meds and her numbers are GREAT! :D

[boodjagirl]

I don't know if my other reply went through, but coconut oil is best, as well as being really, really GOOD for you! It's GREAT for cholesterol and your heart, as well as other stuff. When you buy coconut oil though, you have to be careful to get the oil that doesn't have the smell or taste of coconut in it, otherwise your dish will taste like coconut! My mom makes brownies with coconut oil, and they're famous in town now! They are dense and flavorful and moist. coconut oil is definately best

[avinashdesai]

This is really a boon to the students who study abroad...good demonstration...thanks...god bless...

[ArtNatureMusic]

Thank you for passing on your culture's recipes! 5*

[lobabailante]

Thank you very much Manju aunty, I am going to have a diwali party this year, and all the disches are going to come from you, it looks so good and you look like a griha laxmi standing there an showing us how to do it. Thanks soo much for this.

[guesswhoamilolok]

Thanks..very well ..Where do you recommend to buy a good wok ( no stick or other type). I bought one from walmart but started to stick at the bottom after 10/15 use.

[Manjulaskitchen]

buy heavy bottem pan that works the best.

[RomiSinghania]

Manjula ji I am a great Fan of ur home style cooking. U r doing great job for large viewers out here. This was amazinf recipe. I have one request for you to ask the camera person( I know it is out of the way request) to use the Stand / tripod as the video shakes too much and the noice of handling the video camera is also disturbing when we listen carefully to you. Thanks

[coymelody]

the music playing in the background is me and my mom's favorite song.

[dospeak]

Question.. Auntie, do you boil/Pressure cook the basmati rice before you started or did u just soak them in water for a while???

[Manjulaskitchen]

just soak in the water

[InesM]

Amazing !tomorrow i'll try the recipe... hehehe *** Keep up the good work **

[Maggie131984]

Aunty,

you are cooking so neatly.. when i make food, its a mess in the kitchen... u are a lifesaver for us Indian students in US who barely know how to cook.You are simply amazing!!!

[RomiSinghania]

You should prepare vegetables before hand as Manjula ji does

[duwbryd]

I Am so thankful that you are doing these videos. They are so helpful.

I Am having a hard time finding Black Cardamom. Do you have any suggestions about where it can be purchased, online or otherwise?

[ranjansantra]

wonderful presentation - I will follow exactly as you did!

[MrsMaggie]

HAHA! I thought I was the only one who covered stuff with a smaller lid! LOL. Thanks for this great recipe! I'm going to make this!
