<p><strong>Green Peas Pulav/Pulao</strong> is one of the easiest pulavs you can make. I prefer using minimal ingredients while making Green Peas Pulav so as to keep the taste <strong>mild </strong>unlike Biriyanis. When you are making this pulav for special occasions, you can add fried onions, nuts, coconut milk and other ingredients to enhance the flavor.</p>
