Recipe
1
Rinse 250 grams of basmati rice in water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for 30 minutes, then drain.
2
Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee or oil in a pressure cooker or heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.
3
Add 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds and let them crackle.
4
Add 1 finely chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.
5
Add 1 teaspoon of ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a minute.
6
Add 1/2 cup of green peas (fresh or frozen) and sauté for 2 minutes.
7
Add the soaked and drained rice to the cooker or pan. Gently mix the rice with the other ingredients.
8
Add 1/2 teaspoon of garam masala, 1/2 teaspoon of red chili powder, and salt to taste. Mix well.
9
Pour in 500 ml of water and stir gently.
10
If using a pressure cooker, close the lid and cook for 2 whistles on medium heat. If using a pan, cover with a lid and cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed.
11
Let the pressure release naturally if using a pressure cooker. Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
