Veg Pulao and Puliogare Rice
This is one of best choices to make when you have plenty of leftover rice on hand. Leftover rice is dry and not mushy which makes it perfect for this recipe. If you do not have leftover rice, cook rice as usual and spread it on a wide dish and allow it to dry completely before marking them.
