Recipe Notes
- Always measure daliya and water from the same cup. 1 cup daliya will require 2.5 cups water. Keeping this ratio in mind, you can divide or multiply the recipe.
- Always roast daliya before making the pulav, it will not turn mushy and taste better.
- You can add any vegetables of you choice.
