    1. If you are not used to have it that spicy you can always lessen the quantity of chili powder.
    2. Ginger garlic paste is also optional in this recipe. Yeah yeah I know its the core ingredient in Pakistani dishes but you can skip it if you want.
    3. A good tip while making any kind of Pulao is that after you add rice in the water mixture. Cook on a high heat till the water dries up completely then cover and simmer it on low heat, otherwise you’ll end up with a mushy halwa rather than your regular Pulao rice.
