Peas pulav is one of the quick fix pulavs that I love very much. Its very easy to make and tastes amazing. I have frozen peas all the time in freezer, I prepare this very often.
This tastes great when served with Dal Fry .

1 cup Basmati/Long Grained rice
1 onion - finely chopped
1 tsp – ginger paste
1 tsp – garlic paste
3-4 green chillies - slit length-wise
1/2 cup green peas - fresh/frozen
1 tsp - cumin seeds
1 cinnamon stick
2 cloves
1 star anise
2 bay leaves
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp - black pepper powder
1 tbsp clarified butter/ghee
salt as per taste
Method:-
Soak rice in water for 15 mins. Drain & keep aside.
Heat clarified butter in a pressure cooker & add cumin seeds.
Once the seeds pop & splutter, add green chillies, ginger garlic paste, bay leaves, cinnamon, cloves, star anise.
Add chopped onions & saute for a minute.
Then add coriander powder, cumin powder & black pepper powder & saute till onions are transparent.
To this add green peas & saute for a minute.
Then add rice & fry for a minute.

Then add 2 cups of water & mix well.
Close the lid & let it pressure cook on medium flame till its done.
Serve with any gravy of your choice or Raitas.
Note:-
Pulav tastes best with Fresh green peas rather than frozen ones.
You could try adding a bit of ready-made pulao masala to give it a new flavour.
