birds eye frozen green peas works best.... and this one is very easy peasy and simple and flavorful. Americans will love it.... mundu ga basmati rice cook chesukowith little salt. Then take butter and olive oil in equal quantity (say 2tbsp each if the dry rice is 4 cups) heat the oil then add butter and cumin seeds and 3-4 fresh bay leaves then add the peas, garam masala (pinch) and dhana jeera powder and salt saute the green peas till they turn vibrant green(not fully cooked) and mix them in the cooked basmati rice. thats it!! they will love the cumin flavor in the rice. If you want you can add cashews(halved)and little bit of saffron strands HTH

Peas pulao easiest way & bland ga this is the best. In a rice cooker take rice and required amount of water. Throw in cardamom , cloves, small piece of cinnamon , bay leave , salt, some butter.
Let the rice soak for 15-30 minutes & turn on the cooker. Mix it once in between to make sure salt is mixed properly. When the rice is almost done, throw in the frozen peas. About 3-5 minutes before the cooker turns off .
In my cooker, 3-4 cups rice cooks in about 20 minutes. So 17-18 minutes into cooking I add peas. Aa steam ki peas cook aipotayi. Doubt vunte, 15 minutes into cooking add the peas . My mil use to cook this way in rice cooker
