Peas Pulao

Peas pulao is one of the simple dish and tastier too. If you have frozen peas with you, then this recipe becomes much easier. It goes with any non-veg gravy or any spicy veg gravy.

Ingredients
3 cups - Basmati rice or any rice of your choice
1 cup peas
3 Onions
7-9 green chilies (according to your taste)
3 tablespoons coconut paste
1 tablespoons ginger garlic paste
1 inch Cinnamon
2 Cloves
2 Cardamon
1 teaspoon Ghee (optional) 
Salt
Oil

Method

• Slice onions into strips shape, and also cut chili halves lengthwise.
• Rinse and drain the rice.
• In a pressure cooker, pour oil and ghee, add cinnamon, cardamon and cloves, when it splutters add the onions and chili.
• Fry for few mins, when it turns golden brown, add the ginger garlic paste and fry until the raw smell goes off.
• Add the peas, coconut paste, and 5-6 cups of water( as required) and salt.
• Add rice and allow it to cook in the closed pressure cooker.
• After the whistle, switch off the stove and let all the pressure to release by itself and then mix the rice once, so that the flavor is spread equally.
• Peas pulao is ready to be served.

Note

• Count of whistle vary according to each cooker, if you don't use pressure cooker, you can cook in heavy bottom pan, but you have to stir once or twice while cooking rice to avoid the rice to stick at the bottom of the pan 
• I have used 5 cups of water for 3 cups of basmati rice, if you are using any other rice, adjust the water accordingly.
• Coconut past is optional but if you use coconut paste it gives more flavor, instead of paste you can use 1/2 cup of coconut milk. 
• Too much of peas will turn your rice sweeter so be careful in adding peas.
• Green chilies can be reduced if you want less spicy.
