Notes

Tips for Matar Pulao Recipe

1. Fresh peas can be replaced with frozen peas too to prepare this Matar Pulao Recipe.
2. Instead of basmati rice, Jeeraga Samba or regular Sona Masoori rice can also be used. If using basmati rice, use aged rice with long grains which lends a nice aroma and look too.
3. Soaking the rice is very important, as it helps to get soft and separate rice grains.
4. Adjust green chilli as per spice level required for this Peas Pulao Recipe.
5. For a variation, even paneer or potato can be added to turn this recipe into Paneer Peas Pulao or Aloo Peas Pulao.
6. For a different taste and flavour, 1.5 tsp of biryani masala or garam masala powder can be added

8. Lemon juice can be squeezed, while cooking the rice itself. This method helps to get a separate, fluffy and whiter rice grains.
