Orzo Veg Pulao: When Italian Pasta Fell in Love with Indian Masala

Move over rice, there’s a new star in the pulao universe, and it’s shaped like tiny footballs. Orzo Veg Pulao is the 2025 fusion everyone is secretly obsessed with: chewy Italian orzo cooked with desi vegetables and crowned with aromatic Indian spices. It’s lighter than traditional pulao, quicker than risotto, and so pretty that your dinner table deserves an award.

The Happy Accident That Became a Trend

Orzo (also called risoni) has been sneaking into Indian pantries ever since health-conscious moms discovered it cooks in 8 minutes and fools kids into eating more veggies. One experimental Sunday, someone replaced rice with orzo in a classic vegetable pulao, added a generous spoonful of premium masala, and magic happened. Within months, #OrzoPulao was trending across Instagram reels, food blogs, and WhatsApp family groups.

Enter Testofo’s game-changing Orzo Veg Pulao Masala, crafted for exactly this new-age love story. Because when pasta meets pulao, only the finest spices deserve a seat at the table. Testofo, Choice of Nawabs.

Testofo, one of India’s most loved spice brands, created this blend after hundreds of kitchen trials. It’s lighter and greener than regular pulao masala, with dominant notes of roasted cumin, coriander, mint, dill, and a whisper of royal saffron, designed to hug orzo and vegetables without overpowering their delicate texture.
