This specific recipe is centered around eggs. However, you can create a similar vegan pulao by replacing the eggs with pan-fried tofu, chickpeas, or a medley of vegetables, and using a neutral vegetable oil instead of ghee.
Egg Pulao is a complete meal on its own but pairs wonderfully with a side of cucumber raita, boondi raita, a simple kachumber salad (onion-tomato-cucumber), or a plain papad.
It's not recommended to use leftover cooked rice for this recipe, as the pulao's unique flavor comes from cooking the raw rice with the spices and masala, allowing it to absorb all the aromas.
Store leftover Egg Pulao in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, sprinkle a little water over the rice and microwave until hot, or gently heat it in a pan on the stovetop.
