Watching the game comes with munching on lot of food. I had bought a big batch of cheese and salsa as we had planned to make Nachos. The left overs now have to be used up and so I came up with this idea. Pulao tastes very yummy but is a slightly spicy. The level of spiciness can be reduced by adding less salsa. Salsa is the only ingredient I have used for flavoring when making this rice, added a few veggies to give it come color and nutrition.
