Tawa Pulao is a popular street food of Mumbai. Even through I have never tasted this on the streets, I have heard and read a lot about his. The first time I heard about this was on Sanjeev Kapoor's show, Khana Khazana. Despite being a street food, there is nothing junk about this rice. It is wholesome with all goodness of vegetables and filling. The fact that it takes just a few minutes to conjure this rice is an added bonus.
