Corn and Peas Pulao

We love to have pulao in our house and when my aunt visited us from Delhi she made this corn and peas pulao. We loved this pulao especially the kids loved eating the sweet corn and peas. We make peas pulao regularly since it's a favorite now we have another favorite!
Check out the beetroot pulao and mushroom pulao.

Notes
1. Use a good quality basmati rice. We usually add 1:2 ratio rice to water, you can follow what you normally do since the amount of water added changes with each brand of rice.
2. If you don't want to add coconut milk, skip that and you can add 4 cups of water.



Until next time,
