Masterchef Ripu Handda Shares Special Mumbai Tawa Pulao Recipe

Let's dive into creating the delicious and zesty Mumbai Tawa Pulao. Begin by cooking one cup of rice in a pan with water, enhancing it with a pinch of turmeric (haldi) and a tablespoon of salt. After the rice is cooked, strain it and set it aside. Now, for that fiery kick, whip up a chili paste using a tablespoon of Schezwan sauce, a green chili, a tablespoon of chopped garlic, a tablespoon of water, and a handful of coriander leaves to form a smooth paste.

Mumbai Tawa Pulao Recipe:

In a heated pan, melt a blend of butter and oil, tossing in a tablespoon of cumin seeds (jeera), half-sliced onions, sliced green capsicum, tomatoes, a medley of peas, beans, carrots, and cauliflower as per your preference. Sauté these veggies until they're well mingled and slightly tender. Then, introduce the chili paste you crafted earlier, along with potatoes and the pre-boiled rice. Season to taste with salt, add garam masala, and sprinkle freshly chopped coriander leaves for an extra burst of flavor.
