Cashew pulao, also called by the name Kaju Pulao is a Vegan and gluten-free rice recipe which gets ready in no time with the handful of ingredients.

This is not that your guests always come after informing and if it is lunch or dinner time and you don’t have any thing to cook immediately, this recipe is a saviour.

Although you aren’t dependant on your guests to cherish this delicious recipe and whenever feeling lazy to cook at length, make it and enjoy with any raita or plain curd.

However this pulao is so tasty that you hardly need anything to accompany it.

This Diwali, we got lots of gifts and packs of almonds, cashews and pistachios were amongst them.

Whenever we get dry fruits as gift, we generally preserve them to be used in desserts and other baking needs but this time, the cashews gifted to us were pre-roasted and salted.

These couldn’t be used in desserts otherwise in some savoury recipe or eating as it is.

After eating a bulk of them, we thought of making a recipe out of it and as such  this pulao was born.

INGREDIENTS USED

RICE : we have used basmati rice for the recipe and these were the leftover cooked rice. So this recipe is also a good use of leftover rice.

Although if you wanna try this recipe but don’t have cooked rice, you can make the fresh one.

But make sure that before assembling them with cashews and spices, they must cool down completely. Otherwise your pulao will come out sticky and mushy.

CASHEWS : As already stated, we had pre-roasted cashews for the recipe. But you can use the unroasted one.

Just put a spoonful of oil in a pan and roast the cashews till slightly brown.

ONION BARISTA : Onion Barista is nothing but the fried onions. Yes, onions are fried in oil till they turn dark brown.

You really need not to have them already cooked like us. Make them the moment you are making the pulao.

SPICES : Green chilies, ginger, cardamoms, cloves and cinnamon, all these ingredients make the pulao worth loving.

OIL : We have used refined oil but instead of oil you can also use desi ghee.

We are making this recipe vegan so no desi ghee.
