After a very long time i'm posting a recipe and even was not able to visit many blogs due to some of my personal reasons.Even i thought that i will stop blogging permanently but my dearest hubby and my friend Prema were keep on insisting and motivating me to post the recipes and not to stop blogging and update the the blog whenever i find time .So again started with my blogging.
As i again started posting a recipe thought of posting a simple,yummy and easy recipe.When i was searching the recipes i found Tomato Pulao recipe from Chef Sanjeev Kapoor's site and found interesting.So with no delay i proceeded with the tomato pulao and as the name says it was really a mast and tasty tomato pulao.This pulao is prepared in the road side pav bhaji stalls in mumbai.They will prepare this tomato pulao with the left over bhaji by adding little more spices to it and make a yummy pulao.But i did it from the scratch and was so simple.So thought of sharing the recipe with you guys.
