Having just made chicken biryani, I altered plans of making veg biryani to veg pulav. I started looking at Sanjay Thumma's veg pulav which had a mention of udupi style pulao in which the vegetables are deep fried and then added in the end. By then I had already watched a video of Desi potato korma. I didnt want to boil potatoes, and then thought may be I could fry potatoes or bell pepper and use it in this curry recipe. This udupi style veggie frying and the additions for the korma, converged and thats when I thought that this whole mish mash of somewhere in between udupi style was going to be my ultimate pulav without need of a curry. Instead of deep frying, I did free style frying with lots of oil. I added 1 cup of milk and 3 cups water for 2 cups rice. I could have gone with a little less oil. But the recipients enjoyed the pulav and made all the mental effort worthwhile.
Egg Malai Masala Its fun when things turn out as they should. I pureed the onions and then cooked them well. I added the milk for the egg Malai Masala and made chicken curry with other half of the onion base. I used kasoori methi in both. Many times I have felt the onions grainy, but this time I got it right. Patience.
