That is a very interesting pulao with bread. I've seen bread as a topping for rice dishes but never as one of the main ingredients. Pulao looks great and I'm sure it tasted amazing with the crunchy bread pieces.

I have seen toasted bread as a topping in dum biryani but this one sounds just as flavorful. Good one.

Excellent bread Pulao ! I have used fried bread pieces in Kabuli Pulao , other than that I have never made any other pulao with these pieces . I am trying to absorb the flavours and I bet they would be awesome .

Its been ages since I ate deep fried bread cubes in fried rice/biriyani. It used to be my favorite and I would literally finish up all the bread cubes. I am so craving for this right now. That is a beautiful recipe and thanks for bringing back memories from growing up.

I usually stir fry old bread and add masala and serve it as a snack. Neve heard of adding it to pulao. However, that is an interesting recipe.

Wow that looks delicious! I love to use leftover rice for such recipes! It really jazz ups the rice so well! Those bread pieces, my kids would eat them as such!

Your rice is such an easy and delicious choice for lunch boxes. I have never come across sauteed bread cubes being used as the main ingredient for lunch boxes but I guess bread croutons make a great substitute too.
