Tahire (Yellow Veg Pulao) is a very famous and common dish of north India.Every body loves it for its yellow colour and mouth watering taste.My adorable Mummy used to cook this dish for all of us specially on sunday's. When we all were at home . When family eats together , it enhances the taste of that dish it self.

Tomato chutney and white Radish was her combination with tahiree.
This dish reminds me lots of childhood memories. I remember my favourite History teacher and our family friend Mrs. Vasumati Agnihotri used to demand Mummy to cook this tahire for her.
You can also try it.I am sure once you would taste it... you are going to cook it again and again.
