Matar Pulao Recipe | Peas Pulao Recipe | Green Peas Pulao with step-by-step photo and video recipe. A white pulao recipe prepared with only matar or peas and whole spices. Typically, some prefer to cook matar pulao with a puree of pudina and coriander. However, I like to keep matar pulao simple and do not mix it with pudina pulao or coriander pulao.

Honestly, I love all pulao recipes, because they are usually one pot meal for your daily lunch and dinner. In other words, I do not have to cook any side dish like rasam and sambar for rice or curries for chapati. Just dump the vegetables, rice and spices in the cooker and amazing pulao recipes are cooked in no time. I specifically love peas pulao because it takes one step even further as it cuts down the vegetable chopping requirement. I personally, like it to have as it is with raita, but unfortunately my husband always demands dal recipes as accompaniment for matar pulao.

Furthermore, I would like to share a few variations of the recipe posted below with this post of matar pulao. Firstly, in this post, I have cooked rice and all the masala in one pot. You can cook it separately in a pressure cooker, then you can cook rice and peas separately. Toast the whole spices cook the peas in a pan and mix the rice once the green peas are cooked. Secondly, I have used frozen peas for this matar pulao recipe. However, fresh peas are ideal and can be used but soak them for a minimum of 1-2 hours before use. Lastly, add diced potatoes with peas to make potato peas pulao. You may add any other vegetables to make it a mixed vegetable peas pulao.
