Fresh Coriander leaves pilaf/Easy Indian Cilantro pulav/Indian Vegetarian lunch recipes/Cilantro veg pilaf without chili powder for kids/step by step pictures

I have lots of cilantro bunches in fridge.So,thought to try a rice dish.While browsing my MLH blog I came to know that already I posted a cilantro pulav recipe long time back.But,the pictures are very dull and not impressive..after cooking this immediately took my canon darling and clicked pics.If you are a regular visitor MLH,then you may know that iam a big admirer of green color..Choosing cilantro,mint leaves in bulk quantities is my one more weakness when buying vegetables and prefers this kind of rice varieties mostly more than the chutney versions.This cilantro pulav also one of my favorite in vegetarian rice category...It is very easy to make which may complete within minutes..Grinding the cilantro leaves with cumin and other spices gives a nice texture to pulav and even kids also love to have this without any fuss..If you are cilantro hater or if you have any family members who avoids cilantro leaves, cook this and serve.Definitely,they will love it.here goes the recipe details.........
