Vaquas – Hi! I’m back with a new recipe for you. It’s Instant pot beef Pulao (Beef Pilaf). This beef pilaf is a mughlai punjabi dish. It’s very popular in northern India and punjab. My method is very traditional yet simple. The use of coriander and fennel seeds along with whole spices are a match made in heaven. This recipe does not include any chilli yet it’s very flavorful.
If you don’t own an Instant Pot you can easily use a pressure cooker. However, Instant Pot has made our life easier. Instant Pot is easy to operate and It keeps the original flavor alive.
This recipe is gluten-free. The best part about this dish is its unique flavor. This dish can be eaten along a garlic and red chilli chutney a perfect add along is the raita. one word of caution this chutney is spicy so if you want you can eat it with raita only. This recipe is a perfect weeknight meal or perfect meal for guests. They are going to be impressed by this recipe for sure.
