Peas pulao or Matar pulao recipe is one that I make often these days as mittu is fond of green peas and hubby never complains. Peas pulao is easy to make and flavorful too, you can make peas pulao with fresh green peas or frozen peas too.I always have ginger garlic paste in stock so making this pulao becomes very easy.
Check out my peas biryani with coconut milk and corn peas pulao.

- Adding mint leaves gives a nice flavour but its purely optional.

- Soaking rice helps in cooking faster.I always use 1:1.5 rice:water ratio for basmati rice. You can also use your measures.

i tried this recipe ..its very nice and yummy too.. liked it 🙂 mam, i gave first and second whistles in medium flame and waiting for third whistle in low flame…but the whistle is not coming. so i tap the cooker to give next whistle and 4th whistle in medium flame.. what is the problem mam ?? i added 2 cups water for one cup rice … soaked nearly 40 minutes..
There must be some problem with your cooker, check whether its closed correctly or the rubber gasket is correctly in position….
Should this pulao need to be cooked in medium flame for 3-4 whistles or in high flame…please clarify…TIA
Yes medium high but depends on your cooker too….so adjust accordingly
