green peas, corn pulao with bell peppers

Green peas corn pulao is just a simple dish but tastes really great. It is always better to use veggies in smaller quantity in any pulao. More veggies would spoil the goodness of other ingredients in pulao. I have cooked the rice in exotic whole garam masala with peas, corns and bell peppers as an added flavor.
