Nutrella Pulao with Peas Gravy

This combination is perfect for lunch. Both are easy to make too. I had some nutrella pieces left at home. So instead of making simple jeera rice, i added some nutrella chunks along with it for extra taste and flavor. Both are nutritious and i love to make them again. Here is the recipe.



For the pulao:
Ingredients:
Basmathi rice - 1 cup (wash, soak and cook with 2 cups water)
Cinnamon - 2-3 sticks
Bay leaves - 2
Jeera - 2 tsp
Mint - handful
Nutrella - handful(wash and soak them in hot water for 20 mins before using)
Green chillies - 2 (chopped)
salt - as needed
Butter/oil - 1 tsp

Preparation:


  • In a kadai, add the butter/oil. Once hot, add jeera, cinnamon, bay leaves, green chillies. 
  • Once they crackle, add the mint leaves and fry until they shrink. 
  • Now add the nutrella and fry for 5 mins till they become soft(sprinkle water in between). 
  • Add  the cooked rice, salt and mix well.

Coriander leaves - handful

Grind to smooth paste:
Chopped Ginger - 1 tsp
Chopped garlic - 1 tsp
Chopped onions - 3 tsp
Cloves - 3-4

Preparation:

  • When they crackle, add the ground paste,chilly powder and fry until the raw smell goes off. 
  • Add in the tomatoes, salt and fry till they become soft. Add peas and 1/2 cup water.
