How to Make Aloo Matar Ka Pulao Indian Rice With Potatoes And Peas

  1. Wash 1 cup basmati rice thoroughly and soak in 2 cups of water for at least 1 hour.
  2. Drain the soaked rice completely.
  3. In a heavy-bottomed pan or pot, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon cumin seeds and 1-inch piece of grated ginger. Sauté until the ginger is lightly browned (about 1 minute).
  4. Add 1 cup frozen peas, 1 cup diced potatoes, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander, 1 teaspoon garam masala, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the potatoes are slightly softened.
  5. Add the drained rice and 4 cups of water to the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil uncovered.
  6. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan tightly, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the water is absorbed. Do not lift the lid during simmering.
  7. Fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving. Garnish with extra coriander if desired.
  8. Serve hot as a delicious and satisfying main course.
