Cook, Simmer, and Rest
Add 1 cup of mixed vegetables like peas, diced carrots, and beans along with the tomatoes to make it more nutritious.
Follow steps 1-4 in a pressure cooker. After adding water and rice, close the lid and cook for 2 whistles on medium heat. Let the pressure release naturally.
Add 2 tablespoons of chopped mint leaves along with the coriander leaves for a fresh, aromatic twist.
Increase the number of green chilies or add 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper powder along with the other powdered spices for extra heat.

One serving of Anda Pulao contains approximately 550-600 calories, depending on the size of the eggs and the amount of ghee used. It's a substantial and filling meal.
Yes, Anda Pulao can be a healthy, balanced meal. It provides high-quality protein from eggs, carbohydrates for energy from rice, and healthy fats from ghee. The spices also offer various health benefits. To make it healthier, you can reduce the amount of ghee and add more vegetables.
Absolutely. You can omit the eggs to make a simple, flavorful rice dish. For a protein substitute, consider adding paneer cubes, chickpeas, or soya chunks. Sauté them similarly to the eggs and add them back at the end.
Anda Pulao is a complete meal on its own, but it pairs wonderfully with a cooling side like cucumber raita, boondi raita, or a simple kachumber salad (chopped onion, tomato, cucumber).
Mushy pulao is usually caused by too much water, over-stirring the rice, or not soaking the rice properly. Ensure you use the correct 1:2 rice-to-water ratio (for 1.5 cups rice, 3 cups water is perfect) and mix the rice very gently.
