Tawa Pulao
Tawa pulao comprises fresh vegetables like capsicum, tomatoes, carrots, and potatoes, as well as onions and potatoes cooked with boiled rice. A combination of whole and powdered spices, along with a few freshly chopped coriander leaves and lemon juice added at the end of the cooking process, enhances its taste further.

Notes
I have not used green chilies in the recipe as I have included red chili powder in it. Otherwise, the pulao will be too spicy and hot.
You can use any variety of rice in the dish, though I have used Basmati rice. You can even use leftover rice to make tawa pulao.
Do not cook the rice after adding the lemon juice, or else, it will spoil the taste.
