Pulao is the Hindi word for pilaf or flavored rice. This pulao recipe is an ode to the fall weather. We make this pulao with fragrant white basmati rice, seasonal carrots, saffron, white basmati rice, and garnished with cashew nuts and raisins sautéed in ghee. We serve this rice dish with leftover turkey that we have warmed in Rupen's Masala curry sauce.
