Tawa pulao

Tawa pulao: 
Tawa pulao is one of the most popular Street food of Mumbai. It is a one pot dish which doesn't require grinding. Because we usually grind the masalas for pulao. Yes, it tastes like a biryani but with subtle flavours. This is a big hit in my house as well as a tasty tiffin box recipe !!
I usually cook for a family of four. So you can increase or decrease the amount of the ingredients accordingly.

 Ingredients:

Coriander leaves: To garnish
Oil and ghee: 2 tbsp each
Red chilli powder: 1 tsp
Salt: To taste.
