How long does Bhatia Veg Pulao keep in the fridge?

Bhatia Veg Pulao keeps 3 to 4 days refrigerated in an airtight container. Reheat on the stove or microwave until piping hot before serving. We do not recommend freezing tempered dishes since the spices dull after thaw.

Can I make Bhatia Veg Pulao ahead of time?

Yes. Bhatia Veg Pulao is a great make-ahead dish. Cook it fully, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate. Most bhatia vegetarian dishes taste better the next day once the masala has had time to meld.

What can I serve with Bhatia Veg Pulao?

Classic pairings include raita, kachumber. For a complete bhatia thali, add a dal, a dry sabzi, papad, and a sweet ending.
