Peas Pulao (Rice With Peas)

Recipe Ingredients

1 cup	160g / 5.6oz	Long grain Indian Basmati rice
2 cups	474ml	Warm water
		+ extra water for washing & soaking rice
		Salt - to taste
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Black pepper powder
1 teaspoon	5ml	Cumin seeds
1		Bay leaf
2		Cinnamon - (2 inch)
1		Black cardamom
1		Onion - sliced finely
1 tablespoon	15ml	Raisins
1/2 cup	118ml	Frozen peas - washed and drained
2 tablespoons	30ml	Ghee or clarified butter

Recipe Instructions

Wash rice thoroughly and soak in water for half an hour. Drain thoroughly.

In a pan, heat ghee or clarified butter. Fry half the onion, until golden brown. Remove and set aside for garnish.

Add the cumin seeds, bay leaf, cardamom and cinnamon.

When cumin seeds sizzle, add the rice. Add salt and pepper. Stir until ghee coats every grain of rice and rice looks glossy.

Add warm water. Bring to a boil. Add the peas and the raisins. Stir once.

Reduce heat to minimum and cover the pan with a lid. Leave a little gap, otherwise water will boil over.

Rice will be done when holes appear on the surface and water has been completely absorbed.

Fork the rice out onto a serving dish. This will separate each grain out. Garnish with fried onion. Serve hot with any curry.
