This can be done in less than 30 to 45 minutes including chopping, grinding and cooking.

Vegetable Pulao - Easy to prepare one pot meal with the goodness of vegetables. This is a simple version of vegetable pulao which I regularly make at home. It doesn't involve any grinding and has only simple masala flavours. A simple raita and chips/vadam is sufficient for this yummy rice variety. Else you can pair it up with any spicy gravy. This is an excellent lunch box option which can be done within a short time. I make this frequently for my daughter's lunch box.

Methi tomato rice is yet another easy one pot meal which I learnt from my cousin from whom I learnt the Rava Pongal recipe. I usually make Methi Paratha or Methi Pulao whenever I buy a bunch of methi leaves.

Spinach pulao is an easy rice variety which has high nutritional value. Since it is a greeny leaf vegetable, it is a rich source of iron.

I loved the addition of lemon juice and pav bhaji/garam masala in this pulao.

I came to know about this recipe from this blog .  This pulao is named so because it is prepared in the same tawa as pav bhaji. This is a popular mumbai street food. This dish is prepared using pav bhaji masala and hence it totally has a different flavour from the regular biriyani or pulao. I modified the original recipe to suit our family' s taste. A simple raita will be sufficient to pair with this. This recipe can also be prepared with left over rice.
