When it comes to fast Indian cooking, I mostly prefer pressure cooker. One thing I like about pressure cooker is no continuous stirring or monitoring required. Put everything into the pressure cooker, and depending on the recipe whistle may change, but cooking is such a bliss. Check out pressure cooker based recipes I have posted in TMF.
Being a big fan of pressure cooker now a days electric pressure cooker is taking a special place in my kitchen. I am in the process of exploring Instant pot. You would have seen couple of instant pot recipe which would have already posted in TMF.
Initially I used it for cooking rice, then started preparing gravy. I have tried pulav in pressure cooker and rice cooker before , so thought of giving pulav a try with Instant pot in the same procedure.
My freezer always has frozen peas. It is so handy, be it for gravy like Aloo Matar, green peas gravy, mushroom peas masala, cauliflower peas masala, methi malai matar or peas based dishes like Peas curry, peas sundal it will make everything yum and easy.
Whenever I try to make any dish I add garam Masala, kitchen king Masala or whatever I see and make the masala influence the dish color. This time I want to keep it simple like my Corn Pulav. With a minimal ingredients Peas pulav tastes amazing.
Lot of ginger and garlic with onion take care of the flavoring part. Do you believe if I say right from chopping onion to release the pressure end to end the tasty Frozen peas pulav can be prepared within 15-20 minutes max. Frozen peas is yet another reason for fast cooking. Vegetable rice is yet another quick variety rice.
