Gajar-Matar Pulao | How to make pulao at home.

Making pulao/pulav is no rocket science. Its one of the easiest and quickest recipe to make when you are super hungry. When I am not in a mood to eat Sabzi-Roti, I prefer to make Pulao and have it with raita. It’s filling and healthy too.

There are so many varieties of Pulao which you can try and experiment with. Add vegetables of your choice and there you have different types of pulao to try on. Since Winter is still here, Matar and Gajar are two veggies which are easily available in the market and that too in abundance.

This Pulao can make with fresh or frozen peas, but since its available now, I have used the fresh ones. You can make frozen peas at home too. If you are looking for the recipe of how to make Frozen peas at home, click here.
