Notes:
- I love to use grated Cabbage. You can also chop them into small pieces.
- If using fresh green peas they can be used as it is. If using dried peas, then it must be soaked in water for 4 hours and pressure cooked partially. It must not be mushy as we are going to pressure cook it again.
- Soaking rice in water helps to cook rice soft. Do not omit this step.
Very healthy dish..... lovely colour too !!!
