Peas Pulao

Peas Pulao

I had a long day today as usual but the good part of it was I was able to leave office early, since I was in office much earlier than normal.An early return was enough for cooking a homely dinner, blogging a couple of posts of the previous day,spending some quality time at home, and having a cup of evening tea in our para cha shop.To me, that means a lot!The prevous post was of the Jeera chicken I prepared the previous day and this post is of the humble Peas Pulao.I remember having a simple ghee-dewed Peas pulao in the Sher-e-Punjab dhaba near Barasat sometime back and thought of preparing the stuff and taste it with the slow cooked Jeera Chicken.
