A healthy pulao using Sama/Moraiya which is a great alternative to traditional Rice. Using minimum spices and Cashews for the protein, its provides a complete meal when paired with Greek yogurt or Vrat ki kadhi.
I do make this occasionally even when we are not fasting, when I am watching my carb intake and just want something other than rice.
Hope you will enjoy making this pulao during Navratris and may you and your family always receive blessings from Mata rani.
