Hi friends,
Sometimes we really get bored with our same daily menu...During Diwali had sweets and high calorie food, I decided to make simple PEAS PULAV
for this weekend ...Enjoy the pulav with veg raita and mint chutney.
I pack peas pulav for my son in his lunch box, he loves it and calls peas pulav as BALL RICE ....Funny.
Ingredients:
1 cup Basmati Rice
1 1/2 cup peas (Frozen/Fresh)
2 medium size onion (Finely Sliced)
1/4 tsp ginger-garlic paste (optional)
2 tbsp oil
Salt to taste
1/4 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp garam masala
1/4 tsp pepper powder
Few fresh coriander leaves (finely chopped)
1" cinnamon stick
2-3 cloves
1-2 green cardamom
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1 bay leaf
Method:
