Kabuli, also known as Jodhpuri Kabuli, is a one-pot rice dish made without onions or any other heavy masala. It is an Indian version of the famous Afghani Kabuli Pulao.

This Jodhpuri Kabuli is generally made with veggies like carrots, potatoes, green peas, cauliflower and dry fruits. It is a layered rice dish wherein veggies, and rice are layered on top of each other but what makes this different is a layer of deep-fried bread pieces, which give this pulao a distinct taste.

This Kabuli Pulao is every rice-lovers dream come true.
