Winter Green Pulao

Greens are so important during winter times as it gives us all the nutrients we need to fight the cold weather. This pulao is flavorful and perfect way to include veggies in our meal. I like to pair it along with yoghurt for a perfect balanced meal. It has carbs, protein, good fats and lots of veggies. You can pack this for school lunch or enjoy it for an easy weeknight dinner.
