Potato Green Peas Pulao | Aloo Matar Pulav | Pattani sadham

Pulaos, Baths and variety rice are always a hit in my home. Dear hubby loves them more than the usual sambar/pitlai/rasam!  Now our 13 month old son has joined this gang. He loves all the variety rice that I prepare. All the more reason to cook delicious variety rice recipes 🙂

I prepared peas pulao for our weekend lunch. It tasted awesome!!! Here is the simple green peas pulav recipe.

Ingredients:

Peas: 1 cup
Potatoes: 2 (cut into medium sized cubes)
Onions: 2 (chopped length wise)
Ginger & garlic: 2 tbsp (minced)

Green chillies: 3 (slit length wise)
Oil: 4 tsp
Salt: to taste
Cinnamon powder: 1/4 tsp
Bay leaves: few

Note: I have used frozen peas in this recipe. If you use fresh peas, boil them with little salt and then use them in the recipe.

Preparation Method:

• Wash & soak rice for 15-20 mins.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a pressure pan and sauté onions till transparent.
• Add ginger, garlic and potatoes and fry them for few minutes.

• When water starts to boil, close the pressure pan and put the weight.
• Simmer the stove and cook for 1 whistle.
• Wait for the pressure to settle and then open the pan.
