Ingredients List
Important Notes
Tomato Pulao: Pav bhaji masala is the secret flavor enhancer that pairs exceptionally well with tomato-based rice.
Tomato Pulao: Soak the basmati rice for at least 30 minutes beforehand so the grains elongate and cook evenly without breaking.
Mathiya Wale Aloo: Whisk the yogurt thoroughly with water before adding, lower the heat, and stir constantly until it boils to prevent curd separation.
Mathiya Wale Aloo: Do not mash the boiled potatoes completely; crushing them roughly by hand provides the authentic rustic texture and naturally thickens the gravy.
Mathiya Wale Aloo: Mustard oil brings the characteristic pungency and depth suited for curd-based North Indian curries.
