Simple yet delicious. Amma makes it the same way except for the panch poran. Should be a heart meal Indira!

Dear Indira,
Thank you for all your wonderful recipes, i turn to your website everytime i need guidence with cooking and place immense confidence in your recipes, Can you please let me know why you prefer to use peanut oil?

Hi Leh,
Peanut oil is an old-time cooking oil. My family uses it for everyday cooking at Nandyala, and to continue the tradition, I use it for my cooking. Also, I like the taste it brings to the vegetables and grains, plus it has an excellent nutritional profile. I prefer it mainly for sentimental reasons.

Beautiful pictures, as always, Indira! Peas are arriving here too and I just made a pulao. Wish I had checked your post a little earlier. After having cooked fresh sweet peas I never buy canned peas anymore (frozen occasionally only!).

Did you use powdered Panch Puran or whole spices? Also I thought Panch Puran had mustard in it?

Fresh peas! I havent seen them for a long time! I just read Monica bhides article on shelling peas with her son at Vees Blog. I like the way this recipe seems to have come together improv style.

Hi Indira, Peas pulao sounds delicious. I tried your bisi bele huli anna recipe. It was yummy!!! We enjoyed it so much. I loved the idea of using guvar beans and bell peppers. Thanks for such an easy and delicious recipe.
