Peas Pulao Recipe

Peas pulao recipe a quick one pot meal that can be prepared quickly.Peas pulao recipe with step by step pictures and video.

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.

      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
