Hello friends,

Today, I am sharing a delicious recipe for pea pulao that is very tasty.

Generally, I enjoy all pulao dishes because they are a one-pot meal for both your lunchtime and dinner. In other words, I don't need a separate ritual for cooking rice and making curry for sambar or chapati. Just put vegetables, rice, and spices in the pressure cooker, and in no time, a delightful pulao dish is ready. I particularly like pea pulao because it takes things a step further.

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp ghee/clarified butter
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 5 cloves
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 star anise
• 1-inch cinnamon stick
• 10 black peppercorns
• 3 cardamom pods
• 1 medium-sized onion, thinly sliced
• 1 small green chili, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
• 1 cup peas, fresh or frozen
• 3 cups basmati rice, soaked for 30 minutes
• 2.5 cups water
• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Heat ghee in a pressure cooker and add cumin seeds, cloves, bay leaf, star anise, cinnamon stick, black peppercorns, and cardamom pods. Roast until fragrant.
   

1. Add sliced onions and sauté until transparent. Also, add green chili and ginger-garlic paste, and sauté.

1. Add green peas and stir well. Add fresh or frozen peas and cook thoroughly. Add soaked basmati rice and gently roast.
   

2. Pour 2.5 cups of water, add salt to taste, and mix well. Optionally, add a teaspoon of garam masala for enhanced flavor.
   

1. Pressure cook on medium heat until you hear two whistles.
   

2. Once the pressure is released, fluff the pulao gently.

Serve the pea pulao with raita or paneer curry. Enjoy your meal!
