If you're looking for easy and delicious rice, this is for you. Using basmati rice and green peas (fresh or frozen), it is very mild and fragrant. Peas Pulao is great for unexpected guests or for small gatherings.
Soak the rice for 30 minutes before you start cooking. It is best served with spicy gravy of meat, chicken or vegetable.
Now this dish has became our regular menu on weekend. Let's get cooking..
PEAS PULAO
2 cup basmati rice
1 cup green peas
1/2 cup chopped onion
