We tasted this rice in my cousin sister home. Making of this rice is very simple and easy. Even people who are learning cooking can cook this without putting more effort. Try it out. The ingredients used is also less and easily available.

Fresh peas - 1 cup
Cashew - 8 (finely chopped  and roasted in ghee)
Ghee - 2 tbsp or according to your taste
Sesame oil - 4 tsp
Green chili - 1 or 2 (slit and keep)
Onion - 1 (chopped to thin strips)
Salt - to taste
Rice - 1 cup (i used ponni raw rice so 1:2.5 ration water)
Water - 2.5 cup
Cinnamon stick - 1/2 inch
Cardamon - 1
Bay leaf -2
Clove - 1

Preparation method:-
In a tawa add ghee & oil to heat. Put the spices (cinnamon, bay leaf, cardamon, clove) and roast till flavour comes (do it in medium or slow flame).
Now add onion, green chili and fry till onion is cooked. Add washed rice and fry for few mins,
Add water, salt and mix well. When this boils, transfer to a vessel and pressure cook for 5 whistle and leave it to cool.
Transfer the peas pulao to serving bowl and garnish with coriander leaves and roasted cashew.
Simple and tasty. When i tried my husband liked this dish very much. You can serve with onion raitha or cucumber raitha & fried pappads.
