Peas pulao or matar pulao is a popular dish which was made especially during winter months in northern parts of India. We would also call it matar wale chawal (matar=green peas). We used to get fresh green peas only during winters and this pulao and matar paratha were two of my favorite things around that time. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
