Mutter Pulao is a delicious recipe made out of rice & green peas with aromatic whole spices. It is very easy to make for a quick meal or a comfortable dinner.The piping hot mutter pulao topped with desi ghee or butter tastes really good on a chilly winter night. We can add more seasonal veggies to it other than green peas especially during winters (here in this recipe I have added chopped capsicum but it is completely optional.)We can cook it in in two different ways:
- By pressure cooking it.
- By cooking rice separately and mix with sautéed veggies and spices.
Here, I am sharing the recipe by first way i.e. by pressure cooking.
