Kaju Peas Pulao is one of the simplest and easy Pulao to prepare. Great to go with any kind of gravy. I like the crunchiness of the cashew nuts so am not added them to cook with rice, will be adding them at the end. The rice is sauteed with mild spices and salt to taste. I have added frozen peas here, if you have have fresh peas they would taste better.
