Tiranga Pulao is Indian Flag inspired Tricolour Rice made with three different flavoured rice and arranged as the Indian Flag.

So for the alphabet T, I decided to make Tiranga Pulao made with Tomato Puloa, Ghee Rice and Spinach Pulao. I used fresh spinach that we have in our pot and it was so flavoursome.

For the Saffron layer, I used Tomato Pulao made with tomato puree cooked with spices. I loved arranging these layers. Last time I made a flag inspired dish was this Tricolour Sandesh with different naturally flavoured fruit sandesh.

When I made this pulao I had planned something else too as I wasn’t sure if everybody can have just this for the main course. We loved the individual pulaos as such. This is an interesting pulao to make for a party.

Tiranga Pulao is my choice for T 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 T in C4AS, go ahead check it out!
