Am running this week's blogging marathon with Dish under 30 minutes as theme, and needless to say that i will be posting three different and easy breezy dishes for this week's theme.

Since this one pot meal calls for Indian pressure cooker, trust me you make this pulao easily. Apart from chopping onion and potatoes, you doesnt need anything exceptional to do with.
