Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Coriander-Chili Paste
- Combine coriander and green chilies in a blender with a little water. Blend until a smooth paste forms.
Sauté the Aromatics and Peas
- Heat oil in a pan or pot over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and bay leaf. Once the seeds begin to splatter, add the green peas and sauté for about 2 minutes.
Add the Paste and Rice
- Stir in the coriander-chili paste and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant. Add the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.
Serve
- Serve your Coriander Peas Pulao hot, as a side dish or a complete meal. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves (optional).
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Coriander Peas Pulao
- For a richer flavor, use ghee instead of vegetable oil.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies according to your spice preference. Start with fewer chilies and add more if needed.
- If using frozen peas, add them towards the end of the cooking time, as they cook quickly.
- For a more intense coriander flavor, add a tablespoon of finely chopped fresh coriander along with the paste.
