50 min · Serves 4

Matar pulao

Green peas, whole spices and fried onion — the quiet weekday pulao that lets the aroma of Super Kernel basmati come through.

Method

  1. Rinse the rice and soak for 30 minutes.
  2. Fry the onion in the oil until golden. Add the zeera and whole spices for 30 seconds, then the ginger-garlic paste.
  3. Add the peas, green chillies and salt and stir-fry for 3 minutes.
  4. Pour in the hot water and bring to the boil. Add the drained rice and cook on high until the water is level with the rice.
  5. Cover and cook on the lowest heat for 10 minutes. Rest for 5 minutes, then fluff.
