Peas pulao, No oil

 Green peas belong to the legume family. Here is an unembellished recipe from a paper cutting I had saved long back.

The nuts and bolts of the dish are...

Basmati rice - 1 and 1/2 cups

Water - 2 cups for cooking rice + 1/2 cup for cooking onions and peas

Onion - 1

Ginger - 1/2"

Garlic - 4 cloves

Nutritional yeast - 1 tsp

Salt - 1/2 tsp

Green peas, frozen - 1/2 cup

 

 

The procedure...

 

Soak rice in water for half an hour. Wash rice and strain. Pressure cook with 2 cups water and a smidgeon of salt.

Defrost green peas. Wash them. Microwave peas with little water and a pinch of salt for 3 minutes. 

Peel onion, ginger and garlic. Mince garlic and ginger. Chop onion into thin slices.

Heat a deep-bottomed saucepan and throw in onion, ginger, garlic and a splash of water. Cook for a few minutes or until the onions soften. Add in yeast flakes and salt. Stir well. Fling in the cooked green peas. Spoon in rice. The awesome dish is ready to be served.
