Basanti Pulao - Sweet Indian Food - Rice
Basanti Pulao, also known as Mishti Pulao, is a popular Bengali rice dish, recognized for its vibrant marigold yellow color and mildly sweet flavor. The term "basanti" translates to "yellow," which refers to the rich golden hue achieved from turmeric or saffron. Basanti Pulao is significantly sweeter and boasts a fragrant aroma. A pot of Basanti Pulao made with Govindbhog rice and ghee (clarified butter), with mutton curry, is prepared and served in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on October 15, 2025.
