Green Peas Coconut Milk Pulao is a perfect recipe to be packed in lunchbox. It tastes great with any kurma. I love to taste it with non veg gravies. Any recipe made with coconut is flavoral and makes the dish special. I have added green peas as i am packing them for lunch. Else it can be made as a plain Coconut Milk Pulao without any vegetable and can be served with Kurmas.
