Bhuga Chaanwara ( Sindhi Pulao)

Today is the fourth day of Blogging Marathon and I am posting under Regional Specials Theme. This is a very simple and delicious pulao. This goes very well with Sai Bhaji. The ingredient list is also very small. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The actual recipe suggested adding red chilly powder. But as I prepared it for my daughter, I avoided it.
