About Matar Pulao
Matar pulao is basmati rice cooked with green peas, cumin and a little oil. It is a side dish or a light main; without meat it is mostly carbohydrate, with the peas adding a bit of fibre and protein.
Tip: Serve it next to a protein — dahi, grilled chicken or daal — otherwise the meal is almost all carbs and you will be hungry again in two hours.
