This is a simple and flavorful pulao. Can be served with any dal or taste great with just yogurt too.

1/2 cup fresh coriander leaves, chopped
2 tbsp fresh mint leaves, chopped (optional)
few curry leaves, chopped (optional)
2 cups water
salt to taste
Method
- Wash the rice in water. Keep soaked in water till the pea mix is made.

- Once they splutter,coriander leaves, curry leaves, mint leaves, green chilies and ginger. Cook for a minute.
- Add the peas. Cook for 2 minutes. (If using fresh peas cook till the peas are half done).
- Drain the rice. (Soaked for about 10 minutes now)
