Mushroom peas pulao is an easy vegan one-pot rice recipe. You can make this in the manual pressure cooker or the instant pot.
This mushroom & green peas rice pulao (mushroom matar pulao) is a one-pot, easy comfort food for that lazy day when you don't want to spend a long time in the kitchen. Perfect main course for that rainy day. This takes 15 minutes maximum to pressure-cook the ingredients.
The specialty of this recipe is that I have used only whole spices like bay leaf, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and pepper. Again, only salt and turmeric powder were used. So it's aromatic, and at the same time, more spices won't dominate the earthy taste of mushrooms.
