Where kebabs are concerned in India, Seekh Kebabs are king. Using the same recipe, I’m made this recipe into a patty form. I love to make a large batch of these and freeze them in stacks for when I need them. Forget store bought burgers, these are amazing!

There are a million gazillion ways to make a Pulao. This is probably one of the simplest ways to make it. I learned how to make this from my beloved Mom, God rest her dear soul. Her Pulao was always made with perfectly separate grains. I remember her simple pulao only had a few ingredients …
