Green Peas Pulav with Cucumber Raita

Today i am posting two more simple, quick and easy dishes called "Green Peas Pulav" and "Cucumber Raita". I learned this rice dish from my North Indian friend, keerti. Really this recipe is very easy and taste is awesome. I prepared Cucumber Raita and Aloo Masala Gravy as combo for this rice dish. Fantastic and delicious combo. Here is my Green Peas pulav recipe:



Green Peas Pulav:

Prep : 5mts
Cooking time : 30mts(For Rice)

2 cup basmati rice (washed and soak for 30mts)

1 tsp jeera
