Dill and Pea Pulao- Flavorful and aromatic rice and dill pilaf

Dill and pea Pulao – suwa/shepu is a herb from celery family ,it has a very strong and slightly pungent taste .They are rich in iron, good for digestion, anti oxidant properties, low in calories so you can easily include it in your diet.

Dill rice is a a popular recipe of Persian cuisine they use dill and lima beans  to make a fragrant pulao. Suwa is mainly used to make dips,stir fries,soups ,paratha and rice preparations.

Only the tender leaves of Shepu/suwa should be used and discard the leaves which are yellow and avoid using the thick steams as the hard and thick steams will ruin the taste. I have used only peas  but you can also use mixed vegetable or make it just with dill and tomatoes.

Rice is consumed in all the states of Indian specially in the southern parts. Biryani and pilaf are made of different varieties. different types of vegetables, fruits and spices enhance the taste of pulao and biryani.

    Hi, I made the pulao today and it was excellent. I followed exact recipe and was surprised that a pulao without onion, ginger or garlic tasted so good! Perfect for the fresh green peas season !
