‘Peas Pulao’ is quite easy to prepare and I have made it simpler by following the rice cooker method. It is a delicious dish and can be served with mutton or chicken curry or simply with raita, pickle and pappads. I always add coconut milk to makes it tastier!
This goes to ‘WYF: Quick Meal’ hosted by easycrafts.
Ingredients
Basmati rice – 3 cups
Frozen green peas – 2 cups
Water -6 cups
Thick coconut milk – 1/2 cup
Onions – 2 medium chopped
Ginger garlic paste – 1 tbsp
Green chillies – 6 slit
Coriander leaves – 2 tbsp chopped
Cashew nuts – 1 tbsp
Cardamom – 4
Cinnamon – 4″ piece broken
Cloves -6
Bay leaves – 3
Salt – to taste
Ghee – 2 1/2 tbsp
Method
Wash and soak the rice in water for 30 minutes. Pour 6 cups of water into the rice cooker. Drain the rice and add it to the cooker. Meanwhile, heat ghee in a pan and fry the cashew nuts. Keep aside. Add the whole spices and bay leaves . Then add the onions and green chillies and fry till the onions are transparent. Add the ginger garlic paste and fry till the raw smell goes. Put off the fire and add it to the rice. Also add green peas, coconut milk, coriander leaves and salt. Mix well and cook till done. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with fried cashew nuts. Enjoy!
