India-Peas Pulao

 

2 cups basmati rice

2 tsps ghee or butter

3 inch cinnamon

1 cup green peas fresh or frozen

1 onion, sliced

a handful of cashew nuts

a handful of raisins

1 bay leaf

3 peppercorns

 

Wash the rice two or three times in fresh water. Then soak for 30 minutes.

(optional)

Bring water equal to 1 1/4 times the volume of rice to the boil in a pot. When

boiling add the rice, turmeric powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. The rice should be

cooked in 8 minutes, when all the liquid should be absorbed. Turn off the heat,

remove the rice and spread in a flat dish or pan to cool and dry. Leave for 30

minutes.

Meanwhile, fry onion until brown. Add cashew nuts and raisins bay leaves and

peppercorns and fry for a minute.

Put the rice on a platter and garnish with the fried seasonings.

Serves 4 to 6.
