Tawa Pulao

When ever we have potlucks the concentration is on good food, great booze and loads of fun. If you ask the guys in the group what do you want for main course it would never be a vegetarian item and we end up making variety of non veg. But Sunita is  our one and only vegetarian groupie and every time she is the one who would prepare some thing vegetarian. So this post is dedicated to her, as she introduced me to tawa pulao and makes its real good.


I am not sure if its the actual receipt for tawa pulao or not but this is how I make it. Sunita correct me if I  am wrong :)
