Posted in Rice Recipe Posted by Pratik on Friday, August 7, 2009Matar Pulao also known as peas pulao, is very easy to cook and takes around 30 min. to prepare.
Ingredients:
* 2 tbsps vegetable oil or ghee
* 1 large onion chopped fine
* 1 cup fresh green peas
* 1 cup Basmati rice
* 3 cups water
* 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
* Salt to taste
* 1/2 cup warm water
Preparation:
* Wash the rice well in running water and keep aside to soak for 30 minutes.
* Heat the oil in a deep heavy-bottomed pan. When it is hot add the onions and cook till soft.
* Add the peas and stir well.
* Add the rice and fry for 2 minutes.
* Add the 3 cups of water, turmeric and salt to taste to the rice and set it up to boil on a medium flame.
* Once the water comes to a boil, reduce the flame to a simmer and cover the pan.
* Cook till the water seems to have almost disappeared - tiny holes will form on the surface of the rice.
* Add the 1/2 cup of warm water all over the top of the rice and cover the pan again. Simmer for another 5-7 minutes and turn off the fire.
* Allow the rice to sit for 10 minutes and serve.
