Vrat Ka Pulao/ Sama Ka Pulao

Sama rice which is also known as Samak chawal, Variche tandool, Varai, Bhagar, Moraiya, ancient millet, and sama ke chawal is a must have vrat grain in India. No vrat or fasting is complete without this food. It's eaten as preparation like cooked rice, but let's make it a little more fancy and make it pulao style. It is protein and mineral rich grain and very delicious! #NFC #vrat #navratri #fasting #cookpadindia # samarice
