Peas Pulao || Matar Pulao || Green Peas Pulao || How to prepare Peas Pulao

Peas Pulao is one pot, flavourful rice prepared using fresh peas or frozen peas. Green Peas in English is also known as pachabattani in telugu,battani in Kannada, pattani in Tamil and matar in Hindi. We can prepare this pulao quickly as because no need of  chopping veggies. For  this pulao we use onions which are fried in ghee along with spices. You can serve this peas pulao with any yogurt raita's, veg kurma or panner curries like  paneer butter masalaKadai Paneer , khova paneer or  Kaju Curry   as accompaniment. I had this peas pulao with Pomegranate raita



I prepared this pulao in Kadai, we can also prepare it in pressure cooker or electronic cooker. Generally we use long grain basmathi rice to prepare this pulao. We can also use normal rice too. But to get good flavored and tasty pulao we use basmathi rice.  The thing to remember is the portion of water you used to prepare any pulao. We can prepare matar pulao in many variations like aloo matar pulao, Paneer,matar pulao, pudina matar pulao etc, I prepared simple and basic matar pulao.
