Peas Pulao
Light, aromatic, and subtly sweet, Peas Pulao (also called Matar Pulao) is a classic North Indian rice dish that brings together fluffy long-grain basmati rice with the fresh, slightly sweet bite of green peas. Simple yet elegant, this pulao is perfect for pairing with rich curries, dals, or grilled meats and vegetables.

The rice is first washed and lightly sautéed in ghee or oil with whole spices like cumin seeds, bay leaf, cloves, and cardamom, which infuse it with a gentle warmth and delicate aroma. Fresh or frozen green peas are added while the rice cooks, giving the dish a pop of color and a sweet, tender bite that perfectly complements the fragrant, spiced rice.

Once cooked, each grain of rice remains separate and fluffy, with the peas adding a burst of freshness. Finished with a sprinkle of fresh coriander for brightness, Peas Pulao is served hot — a simple, comforting dish that elevates any meal, whether everyday or special occasion.
