Matar Pulao (Peas with Rice) 

People who are vegetarian , and fond of peas and rice,  their taste buds will  surely love the taste of Matar- Pulao... from my mother's kitchen. 

Mummy always preferred  to use  good quantity of fresh peas to make  Matar- Pulao  ..... that tasted great .... I can feel that taste  even  now....  which  we  enjoyed with  mix  salad  and  tomato chutney.
