Kashmiri Pulao — कश्मीरी पुलाव
Cuisine: Indian · Origin: Kashmir India
Kashmiri Pulao is an aromatic rice dish from the Kashmir region of India, celebrated for its fragrant basmati rice layered with caramelized onions, dried fruits, and roasted nuts. The dish typically features saffron-infused rice cooked with whole spices like cinnamon, cardamom, and bay leaves, creating a complex flavor profile. Traditionally prepared using the dum pukht (slow-cooking) method, the ingredients are layered in a heavy-bottomed pot and cooked together, allowing flavors to meld beautifully. The pulao is garnished generously with dried apricots, raisins, almonds, and cashews, adding both sweetness and textural contrast. Often served at special occasions and festive celebrations, Kashmiri Pulao reflects the region's rich culinary heritage influenced by Mughal cuisine. It pairs well with yogurt-based curries and is a staple in Wazwan feasts, representing Kashmir's sophisticated approach to rice preparation and spice use.
