Mushroom Matar Pulao Recipe

Mushroom Matar Pulao  – Quick and delicious pulao made in a Pressure cooker

Mushroom matar pulao is a very healthy and nutritious vegetable but some how I didn’t like the texture and taste of it may be because during my childhood we don’t consume mushroom at my mothers place .

Now my children loves mushroom and I only eat mushrooms in Pizzas.Some how I started liking the taste of it and tried using it in few recipes some times.Few days back I made Kadhai Mushroom which every one loves.

I always prefer to make Home made pizza as I don’t like the blend taste of restaurant pizzas and I always add mushrooms in it. A delicious and easy – Pizza puffs is my daughters favorite snack and I makes it often as an easy and quick fix snack.

As mushroom is a very healthy and nutrition packed vegetable so I tried this mushroom matar pulao for a change and we all loved it so much. I made this mushroom pea pulao in the pressure cooker for a quick version but it can also be done in a pan .

Rice is made often at my home,some times it is Biryani Pulao, Chutney pulao, Fruity Pulao,  Nizami Sesame Pulao, Lemon Rice,a tangy Tomato Mint Rice and many more rice preparations.
