WHAT IS MATAR PULAO?
The Fluffy Pakistani Matar Pulao, a delightful Pakistani dinner recipe with origins in North India and Pakistan, showcases the perfect fusion of peas and rice infused with aromatic whole spices. This quick and comforting meal comes together effortlessly, sparing you from rummaging through your entire spice collection, while enveloping your senses in a cozy embrace. With fried onions, aromatic cloves and cinnamon, and the fluffy, fragrant basmati rice, this recipe is an irresistible delight that leaves no room for anything but adoration. It’s one of my favorite Pakistani recipes.
