Categories Potato

Time 1h35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 cups basmati rice (or long grain rice)
2 cups water
2 tablespoons butter (or ghee)
1 tablespoon cumin seed
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 cup shelled green peas
1 cup potato, peeled and chopped fine
2 tablespoons powdered coriander seeds
1 teaspoon powdered garam masala
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon turmeric
4 cups water

Steps:

Wash rice and soak in 2 cups of water for an hour. Drain well.
In a heavy pan, heat the butter and add the cumin and the ginger.
When the ginger becomes a light brown, add the peas and potatoes, coriander, garam masala, salt and turmeric. Stir-fry till well mixed.
Add the drained rice & 4 cups of water, bring to a boil uncovered, then lower the heat to simmer and cover. The rice should be done in 10 minutes.
Serve hot.

Tips:

Use fresh or frozen peas: Fresh peas are best, but frozen peas are a good alternative. Avoid using canned peas, as they can be mushy.
Rinse the rice before cooking: This will remove the starch and help the rice cook evenly.
Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the rice from burning.
Don't stir the rice too much: Stirring the rice too much can break the grains and make the rice gummy.
Let the rice rest before serving: This will allow the rice to absorb all the flavors and become fluffy.

Conclusion:

Mutter pulao is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a great way to use up leftover rice, and it can also be made with fresh or frozen peas. The addition of spices and herbs gives the rice a flavorful and aromatic taste. Mutter pulao can be served on its own or with a side of yogurt or raita.
