Phulkari Pulao is a vibrant Punjabi festive rice dish inspired by the colours of traditional Phulkari embroidery. The long grains of golden sella rice are cooked with nuts, peas, carrots, paneer, and saffron milk in pure ghee—resulting in a fragrant, colourful, royal pulao fit for celebrations. It’s a forgotten yet treasured piece of Punjab’s culinary heritage. Pooja Munjani | @foodiefemmepooja
