Tiranga pulao- beautiful and delicious Layered Rice pilaf with three flavours and colour

Tiranga pulao- Rice is the staple diet of Indians,we use rice to make different snacks and main course dishes.Steamed rice is paired with different types of curries and lentils. Set dosa ,idli are popular tiffin variety from South India.

In North part of India we often make khichdi and pilaf with rice to use on daily basis.There are so many varieties of making pilaf. My favorite are –Biryani pulao, Pineapple and chili rice, and the specialty of U.P-
Aloo matar ki Tahiri.

For this tri colour pilaf I used three different vegetable and their paste to give color and flavor. for the orange color I have used tomato and red chili and for the green layer I used spinach and green chilies.The mild and fresh flavors blend well very nicely and the taste was appreciated by every one in the family.

                                                                                   Happy Independence day!!!
