How to Make Green Peas Pulao

• Heat butter or oil in a pan, fry cumin seeds, cinnamon, cloves, cardamoms for a while until they splutter.
• Grind the garlic and the ginger to a very fine paste.
• Add chopped onions, ginger, garlic, green chillies and fry for about 1-2 minutes until they are golden brown.
• Add the drained rice, peas, carrots and fry till a nice fragrance emanates.
• Now add one to two cups of water and let the rice cook properly (Never add more water, if required more water can be added later).
