Peas Pulao
Peas pulao is simple and easy to make. It can be made with fresh or frozen peas. But I prefer to use fresh peas for this recipe. This is often made in northern India. Rice can be cooked in a pressure cooker or in a pot, I prefer to pressure cook the rice. Make sure that the grains are separate and are not sticky.
