Today for lunch I made Methi Matar Pulav..little one wanted to go to pond in the morning...so took her to the apartment pond...she had fun running and watching duckies and gooses ..we came back late...had to quickly make something ,so thought why not make this one pot meal...this is quite quick and easy to make and is loved by all little ones who like to eat some plain flavorful rice...ok here i go with my recipe..
Ingredients
1 cup of chopped methi leaves
1/2 cup of Peas
1 1/2 cup of Basmati rice
2 cup water
1/2 inch minced ginger
3 cloves of crushed garlic
3 Green chilies
1 TBSP tsp of oil
1 TSP of cumin
1 TSP of coriander power
1/2 TSP of turmeric powder
Method
Heat oil add cumin, ginger-garlic,green chilies followed by peas
Saute for about a min then add methi leaves.
Saute till it soften and releases its flavor.
Now add coriander powder followed by washed and soaked rice.
Saute about a min and then add water.
Once water starts to boil simmer to lower and let it cook for about 10 min.
Rice ready.
Note: Methi has its own unique flavor which I have not diluted by adding garam masala and tomatoes...you can add these if you like it that way.This rice can even be made richer by adding coconut milk instead of water.
Thanks!
Thanks for the recipe Sudha....
