What is Veg Pulav Freeze Dried?
Veg Pulav (also known as Vegetable Pulao) is a classic Indian one-pot rice dish originating from Maharashtra, India. Our freeze-dried version preserves pre-cooked basmati rice, mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, beans), and traditional spices in their peak nutritional and flavour state. The freeze-drying process removes moisture while retaining taste, aroma, and food value – no cooking required, just add hot water and wait 10 minutes. Single-origin, FSSAI-licensed, and export-grade quality.

A: Yes, absolutely. This product contains no animal products, meat, fish, or animal-derived ingredients. It is 100% plant-based and suitable for vegan, vegetarian, and all dietary preferences.
Q: How does freeze-dried compare to fresh or canned pulav?
A: Freeze-drying preserves up to 97% of nutrients and flavour while removing water, making it shelf-stable for 18–24 months without preservatives. Unlike canned versions, it contains no added sodium or BPA-lined containers. Taste and texture are closer to freshly cooked pulav than any alternative method.
