A fabulous flavour triangle is created when fresh coriander, mint leaves and green chillies combine in this sumptuous pilau, Chatni Pulao, which can be a vegetarian meal in itself when served with a raita. The pesto sauce used here is not dissimilar to the Italian version, although the Indian recipe does not contain pine nuts, and includes coconut to add richness.
