Tava Pulao is yet another treat from the roadside chaat-stall.Rice is flavored with Pav bhaji masala which makes the dish all the more tasty and give a ‘chaat’ feel to the rice.Addition of vegetables makes it tasty and healthy.I fell in love with this dish as it can be put together in a jiffy.
This recipe is to be prepared on a tava / griddle, as the name suggests.But you can also use a regular pan / wok.Butter is usually used but I substituted it with regular cooking oil.So, here is my version of this dish which is going to be a part of Flavors of Maharasthtra hosted here.

This rice tastes great on its own, but it can also be served with pappad / chips / any crisps and a raita.
