Next add green peas to the pan and fry for few seconds and switch off the flame. Add rice and measured cup of coconut milk and water (however, amount of water, and cooking time depends upon the age and brand of rice. So, first try for small batch) in the pressure cooker. Then add fried items in the cooker, along with the rice. salt and bring it to boil in high flame. When it starts to boil, simmer the flame and close the lid of the cooker and cook it for exactly 10 minutes in simmer flame.

Once the pressure is completely reduced, open the cooker and gently mix from the sides of the cooker and Green Peas Pulao is now ready to serve! Serve it simply with onion raitha and I served it with dum aloo!

I thank all my blogger friends first of all, who wished for my son Amiitesh's birthday and he enjoyed a lot on that day with all my relatives and particularly during the function time. Amiitesh got up by 5.15am itself on that day and went to bed only by 11pm and he don't want to miss to play with his grand parents and uncles. He was very eager to cut the cake from the time we received it from the bakery. He looked so smart on that day and we had a blast of happiness.
