Bulgur pulao

Bulgur is my all time comfort food. These days with a toddler roaming around and mostly clinging onto my legs, it is rather challenging to cook lunch for self. And when I really want to treat myself good then bulgur is my goto recipe. The bonus point is that my 14 months old daughter loves it too.

Ingredients (enough for 1 adult):

• 1/2 cup Fullcorn bulgur (I have added a picture of the one I use and this I can recommend)
• 1/2 Onion – chopped finely
• 1/2 tomato – chopped finely
• 1/3 cup green peas
• 1/3 cup corn
• 1/4 tsp zeera powder
• 1/4 tsp Turmeric
• 1/3 tsp coriander powder
• 1/4 tsp garam masala (optional)
• Salt to taste
• 1 cup water
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Method (medium heat cooking):

1. Take oil in a pan and heat slightly. Add onions and stir fry until they start to become golden brown.
2. Add the tomatoes and salt. Cook until tomatoes are soft.
3. Add green peas and corn. I use frozen peas and frozen corn so I let this cook until the peas and corn are soft (not like mushy) but must be soft.
4. Add the spices and mix well.
5. Add bulgur and mix well. Cook for 1 min.
6. Add water. Cover with a lid and cook on medium heat. Cook until bulgur is completely cooked. You can choose to dry out the water completely or leave it a bit wet. I had left it slightly wet because then it is easier for a toddler to eat.

Enjoy with yoghurt on the side.
