Tomato & Peas pulao is a flavorful and easy one pot meal prepared using pav bhajji masala. This recipe is unlike the regular Tomato rice. The chopped onions are made into paste by adding all masalas and sauteed in a oil to bring out the flavor. This is an excellent option for kids who picks onions and greens ( mint / coriander leaves ) from pulao. Onion raita and potato chips goes well with this delicious rice.
