I love to make one pot meals..Usually I make peas pulao with green peas which always needed an accompaniment.But this spicy green peas briyani goes well with the simple raita or Pappad.I got this recipe from a tamil magazine.With little bit of modification I made this one and it turned out too well.The aroma of the mint that is added for the dish is very much appealing in look as well as in taste.
I used seeraga samba rice as I feel Basmathi rice takes much time in digestion.
Hot Briyani,Pappad,Curd rice would make a complete packed lunch.
