To make that pulao spic, you can as much green chilies finely chopped 🙂
The soaking of rice for minimum 30 minutes amount of water used for cooking the rice is very important. For 1 cup of basmati rice you need to add 1&1/2 cup of water only if you want it to be fluffy and separated.Also soak it for at least 30 minutes
