Peas Pulao

A good friend of my husband's and now mine as well, requested me to change the font to make my work more presentable.

So, Arun, let me take this opportunity to thank you for that bit of advice. I'll let you know if I got more readers :) owing to that change in font!

So, now let's get down to some quick-fix lunch. Had some left over rice- in a skillet I  drizzled in a tbsp of oil(ghee sounds richer but think...Fatter), saute a diced onion, throw in your fresh peas, a tspn of cumin seeds, some chilly flakes,a small handful of peanuts, salt to taste and a dash of pepper for spice. Remember you can brown an onion faster if you add a tsp of sugar with your onions.
Throw in your fresh rice or as in my case- my left over rice and toss them around in the same wok/skillet. You can add some ginger-garlic paste if you wish. I haven't. Once you feel the rice has mixed well with the peas,onions and peanuts, turn the flame down.

Garnish it however you want, I kept it simple as shown in the pic. Just added some carrots that could be picked and eaten. Decorate it in whichever way you wish as long as you use less oil, have added some proteins and have some raw, fresh salad veggies to give a crunchy effect.

Voila, you have my version of a peas pulao, if you use Basmati rice, the flavour and aroma is irresistible! I didn't use Basmati :(.
Eat this with any curry of your choice.
