Cabbage Peas Pulao Recipe

Cabbage peas pulao recipe | Matar pulao recipe, easy pulao recipe using green peas and cabbage. Restaurant-style pulao recipe with full video and step by step pictures.

One-pot pulaos are always loved by everyone at home. It is easy to pack for a lunch box. Also, pulao with rich gravy and dal always finds a place in the party menu too. I have shared many pulao recipes in Jeyashri’s kitchen. Basmati rice is the best rice for making pulao.

A few weeks back I made this pulao for dinner using cabbage and peas. It was a super hit at home. I made this again for lunch and shot the video for the blog post. I used frozen peas for this recipe. This cabbage peas pulao is made in an open pot, but you can make the pulao in a pressure cooker too. I have given the pressure cooker version of pulao in the “Notes” section.
