Green Peas Pulao (Mutter Pulao)

 

This is the simplest pulao that I have ever made. Green peas, garlic, mint, coriander all these ingredients will give nice flavors and awesome taste. These pulao has not added any spices but other all ingredients give it amazing aroma and flavor to the dish. I love to have this pulao with this dal recipe. If you are serving to the kids then reduce or omit green chilies. So get in your kitchen make this pulao with dal and let me know the feedback in comment. I appreciate your feedback and suggestions.
