Time to Celebrate-Day 3 with Navaratan Pulao

Time to Celebrate-Day 3
With
Navaratan Pulao/Shahi Pulao/Flavored Rice

Hi friends,
Today i am Three Months Old heheheh, means my Blog is three months old. I have completed three months in this fabulous world. I don't know how time flawed away. I never thought i will start a blog some day and will get so many sweet friends who inspired me so much. With all those sweet people i would like to share this recipe.
I hope one day i will be posting my Third Anniversary by completing three years in blogging world. Lets hope for the best and Thanks to all of you guys my readers, followers, my inspiration. I made this NAVARATAN PULAO to celebrate.

Navaratan pulao, A Shahi/Royal Rice preparation. Navaratna means 9 ratna/jewels, so in this delicacy nine royal things are included mix and matching between royal veggies and dryfruits.  I had this pulao at many functions. But never tried that. Even i have seen so many recipes on blogs but never satisfied with them. I want my pulao really royal. Not like any other pulao we make adding different vegetables. 
                                         
I saw this recipe in a magazine few time back and memorize a bit. So just thought to make my pulao and i tell you that it was awesome. So different taste was there some crunchy some gooey. I haven't added any spice in it and still it tasted so yummy. I will suggest you to try it once. Here goes my Shahi/Navaratna Pulao.

Beans - 1 tbsp (chopped small)

Notes:-
  1. I wanted to add coconut but didn't found so used babycorn.
  2. You can use oil instead ghee, but for real taste ghee is recommended.
  3. Fry everything separately.
  4. You can use more dry fruits and less veggies.  

HOPE YOU WILL LIKE IT

  2. hi! regarding ur ques on my blog. Yes of course you can link your cake recipe :)

    By the way, if you don't mind, can I give you some advice? I see that you're only a few months into blogging. Your blog template is very difficult for us viewers to see. Your title is not seen because of the collage of pics behind it. And the columns are so wide that it is difficult to scroll to the correct post. I suggest you download a simple and elegant them so that it is more pleasant for the reader to see your posts. Again, I just wanted to help. I'm sorry if you think I've said too much! :)
