Matar Paneer

I have already posted a matar paneer recipe but this recipe is different from the previous one. This matar paneer tastes just like the ones you get in the restaurants. The color and taste of this dish is so good! This is such a simple recipe but still your dish will taste hotel style. I have not used any color in this recipe and I have not even used kashmiri red chilli powder, I have only used a simple red chilli powder made at home but still this matar paneer looks and tastes just like the ones you get in the store!

Butter Beans and Green Peas Curry

Butter beans and green peas curry is a protein rich, highly nutritious curry. Butter beans is a nutrient rich food, a powerful anti oxidant and a protein power house. You can make this as a side dish for roti or pulao. I used fresh butter beans and fresh green peas, you can use the dried or the frozen variety too. If using the dried butter beans, make sure you soak it for a few hours before using it.

Methi Peas Pulao

Pulao's are light and aromatic rice dish made with fragrant basmati rice. My kids love to eat pulao and this is another combination I tried for their lunch box. Adding methi leaves can be tricky, sometimes it can turn your pulao extremely bitter which will not go well with kids. So make sure you cook the methi leaves well while making a methi pulao. You can also add some curd to cut out the bitterness. I have used tender methi leaves which were not so bitter and it tasted very well with the peas.

Green Peas Poriyal

Green peas are a wonderful source of nutrition. They are rich in protein and vitamins and that's why it is also one of the first foods given to babies. Apparently, 1/2 cup of cooked green peas has 4 times more protein than carrots! So green peas are a wonderful source of protein for vegetarians. They have a low glycemic index and green peas are rich in fiber too. There are many ways to cook the green peas, this kind of poriyal is a South Indian speciality and it goes very well with sambar or rasam rice.

Peas Pulao

I make a pulao every week for lunch box and every time I try to make a different pulao but the most favorite of all my pulao recipes is always the humble peas pulao. I have already posted another recipe of peas pulao that my mother makes in an electric cooker. 

This is my version, that I make in a pressure cooker with some garam masala (optional) and coconut milk. Most people don't add coconut milk to pulao but I tell you once you add coconut milk, you will never make pulao without it! Coconut milk makes the pulao so flavorful and delicious that we find a pulao without coconut milk a tad bland!!
