We don’t eat a lot of plain rice in my house but I always make a little bit every week just so we can make some quick fried rice as a last minute lunch option! My husband loves all kinds of fried rice so I changed things up a little bit and made this masala pulav for him, and he loved it! I found myself picking at the green beans in here because of their juiciness and crunchiness, so try not to skip that veggie!

I used peppers in this recipe but feel free to substitute them or use other vegetables like asparagus, carrots, mushrooms or cabbage!

Happy Eating! 🙂
