| In this English Conversation, two friends, Poonam and Mousam, are discussing how to cook Pulao. |
Poonam: Hi Mousam! I heard you love cooking. Can you share the recipe for Pulao with me?
Mousam: Hi Poonam! Of course, making Pulao is very easy. First, you need to take Basmati rice.
Poonam: Okay, how much rice should I take?
Mousam: If you’re cooking for 4 people, 2 cups of Basmati rice will be enough.
Poonam: And what spices do I need to add?
Mousam: You should add bay leaf, cinnamon stick, cloves, green cardamom, and cumin seeds. Also, add ginger-garlic paste.
Poonam: What vegetables can I add?
Mousam: You can add carrots, peas, capsicum, and beans. This will make the Pulao more delicious.
Poonam: And how do I cook it?
Mousam: First, wash the rice and soak it for 20 minutes. Then, heat ghee in a pan, sauté the spices and vegetables, then add rice and water, and cook it covered.
Poonam: How much water should I add?
Mousam: For 2 cups of rice, add 4 cups of water.
Poonam: Thank you, Mousam! Now making Pulao seems easy.
Mousam: No problem! Cook it someday and let me taste it.
