Also called: navratan pulao, navratan pulav, navratan rice, navratan pilaf, navrattan pulao, navratan veg pulao, nine gem pulao, navratan pulav
Navratan pulao is that festive, colourful rice dish you usually see at parties, weddings, or a nice Sunday lunch at home. Fragrant basmati, little bits of peas, carrot, paneer, cashews, and those whole spices make every bite feel rich and special — proper treat food, but still very desi.

What Goes Into It
Per serving (1 plate)
gastroenterology Gut Health Insight
This pulao gives you a decent mix of carbs, fibre, and a bit of protein, so it’s more filling than plain rice. The peas, carrots, and onions add 7.6g fibre per plate, which helps keep digestion moving, while cumin, cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves can feel gentle on the stomach and may reduce that heavy, bloated feeling after a rich meal. The cashews and 15g oil do make it heavier, so if your tummy feels sluggish, pairing it with raita or a simple salad can help balance the richness and make the meal easier to digest.
