After struggling many times to make a pulao where grains of rice are separate and the taste and smell of peas is fragrant, I finally succeeded to make it.
Ingredients
1/2 cup rice
1/2 cup peas
1 Tbsp ghee
1 tsp jeera
2 bay leaves
1 stick cinnamon
2 cloves
2 whole cardamom
salt to taste
Heat 1/2 Tbsp ghee and roast the rice in ghee until some grains start browning. THIS is the most important step to get fluffy & non sticky pulao.Put the rice in pressure cooker (or container).
Heat the other 1/2 Tbsp ghee and add all the spices and peas. Saute until fragrant and add to the rice in pressure cooker. Add 3/4 cup water to the rice. Cook for 3 whistles and let cool down for 10 mins.
Fluff with a fork and picture perfect pulao is ready.
