    Ram Pulao is one of the most delicious pulaos for vegetarians from the state of Rajasthan. The spicy fried lentil dumplings make this a delicious feast.

    This Rajasthani Gatta Pulao or Gatte Ka Pulao was my choice for R as the Ram Pulao sounded very interesting choice. Though I had a tough time figuring out the G, which ended up being Goli Bhaat, I wasn’t ready to change this one to G.

    I procrastinated making this till the end, though I had plans of making it along with the batch of cooking I did with four other dishes. I felt this preparation was almost the same though now after making this pulao I realized it's not.

    This was planned for the election holiday lunch when Hubby dear said I could complete any of the letters that were still pending. I immediately set out to make for dinner and yes, it was very good, though knowing my Hubby dear’s choice, it was a good meal.

    The pulao highlights the resourcefulness of the local people, who have replaced the fried lentil dumplings instead of the vegetables that are not freshly available. These deep fried dumplings make this an interesting pulao to enjoy!

    I didn't follow a particular recipe when making it and the inspiration came from many online sources I had checked. I skipped onions and garlic, I thought I would include peas as the green specks make a great add on. The final dish was surely very delicious with the fried gatte in it.

    Ram Pulao is my choice for R in the AtoZ Biryani/Pulao/Khichdi Festival that's happening for the April Mega Marathon, where I have opted to make 26 Rice dishes. If you are interested to know what I am doing for R in C4AS, go ahead check it out!

      Those gattes are flavorful addition to the pulao. So nice of your husband for being supportive. I think I would be the only one eating pulaos and biryanis in my home if I made them any time sooner. 🙂

      Didn't know that ram pulao is gatte pulao. The pulao looks amazing studded with those deep fried gatte. Let me try this with baked gatte.
