13. Modur Pulao
Modur means sweet. Modur pulao is nothing but sweet pulao which is rice prepared with cinnamon, a little saffron, milk, ghee, sugar, cashew nuts, almonds, green cardamom and cloves to name a few. Sweet Pulao is said to be usually served as a dessert but there is no such tradition in most of the Kashmiri families that I have seen around me, including my own. Definitely not one of my favourites.

This is the most commonly made dish you will find in any Kashmiri household. This dish consists of spinach/saag along with radish (preferably) and is made almost every other day in any Kashmiri household. It is very good for eyes and even though it looks a little bland, but it actually is unbelievably tasty.
