The pulao seems yummy with the coriander-spice paste.
Thank you all of u for ur support and comments.
Can you do the same recipe by avoiding the coriander alone? I currently don’t have coriander at home. Can I powder coriander seeds instead for the flavor?
Hi appu, you cannot make this coriander peas pulao with coriander leaves and substitute it with coriander seeds. Instead you can try plain vegetable pulao which is also their in our site. Thanks for visiting our site.
I am surprised that peas doesn’t come anywhere in ur recipe but the name says so…
