Pulao

Pulao is a rich and flavorful dish, originating from South Asia, particularly popular in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Typically made with basmati rice, the dish is known for its unique blend of delicate spices, tender meat, and aromatic vegetables. Usually served as a main course, it is versatile enough to suit any palate, with a variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian variations available. Cooking pulao relies heavily on a step called the 'dum' process, where the ingredients are slow-cooked in a sealed pot, to allow the flavors to infuse. The resulting dish is a meld of savory rice, succulent meat/vegetables and a slight hint of sweetness, making it a fulfilling meal.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Pulao expire?
Pulao, like most rice dishes, can keep safe in different conditions. If left at room temperature, it is highly advisable to eat it within 2 hours as bacteria can multiply quickly. In the refrigerator, it can safely be consumed up to 3-4 days. As for freezer storage, it can last up to 2 months. However, its taste and texture might slightly degrade over time.
How do you tell if Pulao is bad?
You can tell if pulao has gone bad by sight and smell. If it has been in the refrigerator longer than 4 days, or if you see any signs of mold, it is not safe to eat. If the pulao smells sour or any bit unusual than it originally did, it's best to stay on the safe side and discard it. If the rice is too hard and dry, it might not necessarily be spoiled but will have lost its quality.
Tips for storing Pulao to extend shelf life
• Always cool down pulao completely before storing it, to avoid bacterial growth. • Use an airtight container to store pulao in the refrigerator. It helps in preserving the flavor. • You can divide portions of pulao and store them into individual serving sizes. This way, when you reheat a portion, the remainder stays fresh in the freezer. • If freezing, trying using a freezer bag to save space and don't forget to squeeze out as much air as possible before sealing. • Always defrost frozen pulao in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
