The auspicious festival holi is now over.. I am sure… all my viewers had a lot of fun . We also celebrated holi with mawa gujhiya , thandai and green pea kachori . Yes of course without colour. Didn’t find gulal in Tamilnadu ,so celebrated only with food and flowers.
After making lot of things for Holi, hubby said no more dessert for next one month. So I thought to make a quick, one pot meal which will be filling and equally yummy too. There are many Variety of Indian rice which can be prepared with only using one pot. Remember last time I prepared Tomato rice, as I never repeat dishes so thought to make Tahiri this time.
Tahari is an North Indian delicacy and a part of an Awadhi cuisine. Tahiri or Tahari is very similar to pulao recipe. But its tastes very different . Taheri is yummy, delicious, flavorful comforting one pot meal which is filling and easy to cook. This is a dish which can be prepared in minimum time.
This dish can be prepared in a pressure cooker and in an open pot too. Usually Taheri is a winter delicacy because all types of vegetables are available in this season. This dish carries a lot of flavors as well as vegetables. Any day when you feel lazy and thinking about any filling dish then this is the dish which can be an attraction of your dining table.
Taheri itself made with many variety like aloo ki tahiri, aloo gobhi ki tahiri or murg ki tahiri. As winter is going on I ve added a lot of winter vegetables with this. Taheri can be served with a simple boondi ka raita or cucumber raita even with pain curd. Serve the delicious Tahiri drizzled with lemon juice . It will add more tanginess .lets go to the recipe.
