Pulao Tadka (Tempered Seasoning for Pilaf Rice) is a Ready Tempering used while cooking Pilaf rice. It is a preparation made by heating ghee, adding the spices and aromatics, and sautéing them until they release their flavours and become aromatic. This tempered mixture infuses the rice and other ingredients with aromatic flavours, creating a flavourful and fragrant dish.

In addition to the spice tempering, other ingredients commonly used in pilaf rice include vegetables like onions, carrots, peas, or bell peppers, as well as meats, such as chicken, beef, or lamb, or even seafood. Nuts, like almonds or cashews, are sometimes added for texture and richness.

The combination of the pilaf rice tempered seasoning and the various ingredients cooked together creates a delicious and well-balanced dish. The spices and seasonings contribute depth of flavour, while the vegetables, meats, or nuts add their own unique taste and texture to the pilaf rice. It is a versatile and satisfying dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a complete meal on its own.
