Mixed vegetable pulao
Also called: mixed vegetable pulao, veg pulao, vegetable pulao, mixed veg pulav, mixed veg pulao, veg pilaf, sabzi pulao, mixed vegetable pulav
Mixed vegetable pulao is that comforting one-pot rice dish that shows up in lunchboxes, family dinners, and the occasional Sunday lunch at home. Soft rice gets tossed with beans, peas, carrots, onion, and whole spices, so every bite tastes a little fragrant, a little sweet, and very desi.

What Goes Into It
Per serving (1 plate)
gastroenterology Gut Health Insight
This pulao is quite friendly for the gut because it brings a decent 5.4g fiber per plate from peas, beans, carrots, and onions. That fiber helps keep bowel movements smooth, while cumin, cinnamon, bay leaf, and clove can make the dish feel lighter and easier to digest. The rice gives quick energy, but if your stomach feels heavy, try eating it with a little curd on the side — the probiotics can balance the meal nicely. The 26.1mg vitamin C and 80.6µg folate per 100g also add a nice little nutritional boost from the vegetables.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is mixed vegetable pulao healthy?
Yes, it can be a fairly balanced meal. One 200g plate has 226 kcal, 5.4g protein, 35g carbs, 6.6g fat, and 5.4g fiber, so it’s more filling than plain rice because of the vegetables and spices.
How many calories are in 1 plate of mixed vegetable pulao?
One serving of 1 plate or 200g has about 226 calories. Most of the calories come from rice and the 15g fat used in cooking.
Can diabetics eat mixed vegetable pulao?
Yes, but portion size matters because 1 plate has 35g carbs. The 5.4g fiber from vegetables helps a bit, so pairing it with curd, dal, or paneer can make the meal gentler on blood sugar.
Is mixed vegetable pulao good for weight loss?
It can fit into weight loss meals if you keep the portion controlled. A 200g plate gives 226 kcal, which is reasonable, but the rice and cooking fat can add up if you take a bigger serving or extra ghee on top.
