Aromatic and tasty one pot peas pulao from the Punjabi cuisine made with green peas, rice, onions and spices.
I usually pressure cook the green peas pulao, but you can cook the pulao in a pot. If cooking in a pot, then the water quantity should be increased a bit.
This pulao is often made in Punjabi homes. I too make it regularly at home.
