Green peas pulao  is an easy and simple dish with minimum ingredients. This finds place in my kitchen once a week, especially when i get up late and run out of time. Generally i make cauliflower curry as an accompaniment for this. It is different from the Vegetable Pulao which i make usually.
Whenever i pack this for my daughter’s lunch box, i pack seperate box for her friends too, who loves this a lot.
