Love pulao? Then you are going to love this Corn Soya Bean Tawa Pulao. It’s a really healthy plus nutritious version of Tawa pulao. Once we hear the name Tawa pulao.
I remember my days in Mumbai. Tawa pulao is a delicacy and a really famous street food over there. So I assumed why not make a more healthy version of it with many vegetables and protein-rich soya chunks and corn.

This is a really nutritious recipe full of both protein and flavors. I remember visiting Juhu Beach during the evenings where we relished this delightful dish. So then I saw all the various veggies lying in my fridge rack and I thought to myself “Why don’t I give this recipe a very protein-packed twist.”
Making biryani is usually time-consuming every time when those rice cravings occur. This is a really easy version. It’s a low-calorie soya delicacy and combined with other heart-protective ingredients makes it an exquisite dish.
I served with Kadi Pakoda, one of my favorite entremets. That’s the fun part – you can cook whatever side dish you like with this tasty Tawa pulao.
About Corn Soya Bean Tawa Pulao
This Corn Soya bean recipe will suddenly take your memories back to Mumbai ( if you have been there ) needless to say because the name itself is extremely popular there. They’re made on flat concave-shaped pans called Tawa and pulao as you’ll guess it’s pilaf.
The street-side stalls there use huge tawas in which they create pav bhaji, masala pav, and more dishes, and therein same Tawa makes this delicious Tawa pulao which gets mixed with those flavorful pav bhaji masalas.
The only difference is that here I have even added corn and soya chunks.
Soya bean needs no introduction as these are protein-rich legumes. The foremost interesting fact about them is – They combine with any food without affecting the flavor.
The spices and herbs make this dish aromatic with the added goodness of corns. You can use any Tawa or pan for this recipe.
What’s great about this pulao is that the vegetables in it are crunchy and an ideal balance of all the masalas are used.
