Peas Pulav

Kids generally like one pot meals. And mothers like to make them as its easy cooking than making Sambhar, Rasam and rice along with a side dish. I personally feel one pot meals help a lot to conserve time, energy and Gas ( which is in high demand these days ).  Yes, I can see some heads nod. 

So today's recipe is a simple Peas Pulav, without any fancy ingredient or spices. Very simple meal that uses the ingredients available in your pantry and can be made in a jiffy.

Ingredients 

Basmati Rice - 1 cup ( soaked for 20 mins in 1.5 cups of water )

Green Peas - 1 cup

Green Chili - 2 slit 

Mint and Coriander leaves - 1/2 cup

Onions - 1/2 cup ( sliced )

Spices - cardamom, clove and saunf

Ginger Garlic Paste - 1 tbsp

Salt to taste

Oil as required

Method 

In a small pressure cooker, add a little oil

When the oil is hot, add the spices along with sliced onions

Add the mint and coriander leaves and saute well

I love the aroma at this stage of cooking

When the onions are done, add the ginger garlic paste and saute again 

Add the slit green chilies and green peas

Saute well and add salt

Now add the basmati rice along with the water in which it has been soaked 

Let the water boil for a minute, before you close it and cook for 2 whistles.

Serve hot with papad and curd or raitha

Two points that needs to be noted 

Water to cook basmati rice is 1: 1.5

From the second whistle the flame should be low to ensure that the rice does not burn at the bottom
