Today I'm going share my first recipe, which I've made in my new Preethi Touch, 6ltr. Electric Pressure Cooker. I was unwell since last month, so could not able to upload any new recipes on my blog. But now I'm doing better, so thought of making some special dish in my Preethi Touch, 6ltr. Electric Pressure Cooker. Today I'll share a rice item which can be easily cooked in this Preethi Touch, 6ltr. Electric Pressure Cooker. Mutton pulao is a flavorful, easy to make one pot meal, which is a combination of fine basmati rice, medium chunks of pre boiled mutton pieces, and lots of spices. This dish is easily available in many Arabian restaurants in Hyderabad, but I wish to prepare any mutton dish at home, as I'm concerned about the hygiene part. In this dish, pre boiled succulent meat pieces are cooked along with basmati rice, whole spices and curd based gravy. If you have surprise guests at home, and you don't want to order from restaurant, go for it. It takes only 1 hour from start to end. And after having such yummilicious dish, your guests going to praise you. And my new Preethi Touch Electric Pressure Cooker made my job even easier. So let's check for the recipe.
