Muttar Pulao

Last night I had my husband’s friend come over for dinner without notice and I had to cook up something very quick. This is a very simple recipe if you go through one of such days and running short of time to cook for your guests!

Ingredients:

Basmati rice – 1 cup

Water – 2 cups

Muttar (green peas) – ½ cup

Onion – ½

Ghee – 4 tbsp

Cardamom – 3

Cinnamon – 1 small piece

Cloves – 4

Salt – to taste

Method:

Wash and drain rice. Keep aside.

In a pan pour the ghee and add all the spices. Sauté them and add the onions. Once they turn pink, add the rice.

Fry the rice for a while until they turn white and pale. Now add the water and peas. You can add a dollop of ghee at this stage for richer flavor. Cover and cook till done.
