Pulau Nepalese Basmati Rice Dish image

This is an amazing rice side dish with complex flavors, but simple prep! It has a sweet and salty element to it and the spices will make your kitchen SING! Originally made for a Girl Scout function, but EVERYONE loved it and it is now a family favorite! (Found on a Nepali website.) Also re-heats easily. The golden raisins add the most delicious bit of sweet to the rice!

I'm not a big fan of raisins, so I left them out of the recipe. The pulao still turned out great!

This pulao is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just because I used a bit too much chili powder.

This pulao is a great way to use up leftover rice. It's also a great side dish for any curry or meat dish.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just because I used a bit too much chili powder. Next time, I'll use a bit less and see how it turns out.

I've tried many pulao recipes, but this one is by far the best. The rice is always perfectly cooked and the spices are perfectly balanced.
