Ingredients
- 1/4 cup peas
- 3 tablespoons ghee
- 2 cups rice
- 1 medium onions, finely sliced
- 2 cloves
- 1/4 inch cinnamon sticks
- 1 dried red chile
- 2 cardamom pods
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon minced ginger
- salt
Preparation
Step 1
1. Boil the two cups of rice in water until just done. Do not over cook this or you will have mush for dinner. Drain the rice in a colander.
2. In the mean time fry the onions on med heat in ghee until golden brown. Add the ginger garlic and the green peas. Stir fry for a minute Add the spices (leave them whole). Add the chili (if you like spicy food break it open) otherwise leave it whole. Stir fry till the peas are done.
3. Add the salt, then gently add the rice. Stir it gently until all the ingredients are just mixed inches Place on a microwavable serving platter. Just before serving microwave on high for 3 minutes.
Notes: Yum! The perfect accompaniment to an Indian entrée. My changes: used brown basmati rice, used canola oil instead of ghee (and only about 1 tbsp), used probably 3x as many cardamom pods (and crushed them first) and maybe doubled the cloves. Also tripled the peas. Delicious!
