A-Z Biryani/Pulao/Rice recipes is a collection of 30 recipes of Briyani, Pulao and Khichdi recipe, mostly prepared with rice. A compilation of dishes that I cooked for Mega Marathon Event.

April was a busy month as regards to Blogging. I participated in the Mega Marathon '19 hosted by Srivalli.

Mega Marathon is an event where few bloggers get together and everyday cook dishes based on the theme. This April'19 the theme was 'Biryani/Rice/Pulao' with at least one grain included. This was my first time for in Mega Marathon and I had fun doing all the dishes for the theme though I had a busy month doing dishes in the alphabetical order of A-Z .

The collection has exotic Biryanis that you can cook on special occasions and festivals, everyday and easy Pulao recipes that can be used for quick and easy meal ideas or conveniently packed in lunch boxes or for your parties. Also, there is a collection of simple and easy Khichdi recipes for light quick and easy meal option.

All the recipes use fresh ingredients and use minimum of oil/desi ghee except 1 or 2. I also have tried to include both the Instant-pot and Stove-top versions of the dishes as much as possible. Also, also the dishes are cooked under 30 minutes. One pot meals for busy mornings that can be packed in lunchboxes or served at your parties and get-togethers.

Most of the recipes are One-Pot Meals , Gluten-free and I have also given tips on how to make it suitable for Vegans.
