Ingredients

  

• 2 cups Basmati Rice
• 1 cup Peas (fresh or frozen)
• 1 Onion (sliced)

• 1 inch Cinnamon Stick
• 5 or 6 Cloves

Instructions

 

• Wash and soak basmati rice for 10-15 mins. After 15mins drain the water completely and keep aside.
  
• Heat butter and oil in a vessel or pressure cooker. Add all the spices and fry till nice aroma. Add sliced onions, green chillies and ginger garlic paste.
  
• When the raw smell of ginger garlic paste goes off, add turmeric, coriander powder, garam masala and salt.
  
• Fry the spices till nice aroma and add peas. Here I have used frozen peas but suggests to always use fresh peas which gives a nice flavor to the pulao.
  
• Mix well and fry for 3-4 minutes.
  
• Add the basmati rice and mix well.
