Green Peas Jeera Rice is a healthy and tasty dish which is frequently made in winters when fresh green peas are easily available.However, frozen peas can be used in other seasons.It is a quick one pot meal and pairs very well with raita, dal and curry of choice.Basmati or any short grain rice can be used to make this dish.Here I have used pre-cooked short grain Jeera Rice. Alternatively the whole process may be pressure cooked.
