Achari Chana Pulao<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Achaar<\/em> is a constant main course accompaniment for me, as it is for a lot of fellow Indians. Today I used a masala<\/em> from my favorite mango pickle to make a pulao<\/em>.\u00a0Achaari Chana Pulao is a great main course dish. Cooked by mixing this\u00a0masala, chana <\/em>and\u00a0rice, it gives a tangy taste and is very filling. This pulao<\/em> can be made if you have chana subzi<\/em> leftover or even without. Make it anytime you wish and it everyone would be pleased. The pulao<\/em> can be served with your choice of raita<\/em> for a perfect combination.
