When Veena asked me do a guest post I was hesitant and happily forgot about it until she reminded me again but still I took time to prepare this post as to decide what to post is big task for me.  Veena asked me something with peas so I decide to post this simple, easy and yummy potato & peas pulao.  This one is good for lunch box as it’s can be done in jiffy in pressure cooker and it’s filling, you can do the same in rice cooker or in a pan too. The best thing is this pulao goes well with just anything be it a simple raita, any curry or dal.  If you have guests at home then this can be a good option too.  I spiced this pulao mildly and wanted potato and peas to dominate the taste plus the cashews adds good crunch, so check out the recipe.
