Lemon Pea Pulao

Some dishes just radiate happiness and color, and this lemon pea pulao is exactly that! With vibrant lemony hues of yellow and green, and the fragrant aroma of basmati rice, crunchy peanuts, and whole spices, it comes together effortlessly. It’s perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner or as a flavorful side for entertaining.

But don’t be fooled by its cheerful appearance; this pulao packs a well-balanced punch of spices (as always with my recipes!). I love tossing in a handful of carrots to make it even brighter. Feel free to get creative, use whatever vegetables you have on hand - or that bag of mixed veggies hiding in your freezer!

One ingredient you definitely shouldn’t skip is ghee (or butter, if you prefer). It brings a warm, nutty depth that ties the whole dish together beautifully.

Now, onto the recipe…
