I am sure you might have missed to think about this Leftover Pav Bhaji Pulao recipe the way I missed it until I started experimenting new recipes. No worries, I am bringing this yummy and tasty Pulao recipe which is prepared from leftover pav bhaji.
My interest in cooking started at very early stage of my life. At times I was bound to cook only on weekends due to my hectic schedule and that too only the common recipes like Bhel, Pani Puri, Pav Bhaji, Vada Pav etc. Being Maharashtrian these were the obvious choices to start with the weekend experiments.
We generally prepare extra Pav Bhaji at my home so that it lasts for next day and most of the time we like to eat it as Pav Bhaji and not in any other form. This was one time when leftover Pav Bhaji was not sufficient for all of us. And as you would expect, it is not a good idea from refraining anyone from having mouth-watering Pav Bhaji and also we get even hungrier if we see someone else eating delicious recipes in front of us. This is the food recipe exactly for such situations, which allow us to use the leftover food we already have and make everyone smile, happy and of course, sated.

You can chop vegetables in any shape as you like but I suggest to dice vegetables into 1/2 inch length thin sliced. This helps your Pulao to look beautiful 😀 .

Now once cashews are light golden in color, add just a little butter and roast cashews for another 1 to 2 mins which helps them turn aromatic. Once cashews are nice in color and texture, take them out and keep aside.
To avoid butter getting burnt, remember to add butter only after roasting cashews for 2 to 3 minutes 🙂 . -
