Green Peas Pulao/ Green Peas Biriyani

Hi Friends !!! From long time I am thinking to do pulao/biriyani and the day came now. I bought the tamiz women magazine “aval vikadan” and found this receipe. I didn’t change anything in that receipe. I followed , prepared and now presenting in front of you. Hope you all enjoy this. My malayalee friends loved it and learnt from me. Good know… Let’s see how to make this receipe…

Ingredients :

Boiled Basmathi Rice – 1 cup

Onion (chopped) – 2

Tomato (finely chopped) - 3

Green Peas – 1 cup

Turmeric Powder – 1/4 tsp (optional)

Bay leaf – 1

Cardamom – 2

Clove – 2

Cinnamon – 1 little

Cashew nut – 10 no.s

Salt – as required

Oil – 3 tsp

Ghee – 1 tsp

Coriander leaves - little bit

For Grinding :

Coconut ( grated ) – 4 tsp

Ginger – 1 inch

Garlic – 3 pods

Sounf/Fennel – ½ tsp

Green Chilli - 3

Method :

     1.     Heat the fry pan and add oil/Ghee. Add Bay leaf, Cardamom, clove and Cinnamon. Fry till cardamom becomes big and bay leaf becomes brown colour.

     2.    Then add chopped onion and fry till it becomes brown. Add little bit of turmeric powder.

     3.    Add chopped tomatos and fry very well. Then add the grinded mixture and fry well till the garlic smell goes.

     4.    At this stage add green peas. I used frozen green peas, so it doesn’t need water to boil. If you are using normal green peas add little bit water and boil the green peas. Add required salt and fry well.

     5.    Now add the boiled basmati rice and mix well with this mixture. And also add coriander leaves.

     6.    Serve Green peas pulao with Raitha. I did sev-cucumber raitha. It tasted awesome along with this sev raitha. Enjoy!!!
