This is an easy way to make rice more exciting.
Typically, Basmati rice would be the best, the aroma is unbeatable,
but use whatever white rice is available.
- 1 cup Basmati rice
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 12oz package frozen peas
- 4 cloves
- 1 small stick cinnamon
- 1 clove garlic(minced): optional
- 2 to 3 bay leaves
- 2 tbsp oil (more if you like)
Heat oil in a deep pan and fry onions till slightly brown.
Add cloves, cinnamon, bay leaves and garlic and stir.
Add rice and stir for 2 to 3 mins.
The rice should be coated with the oil.
Add 2 cups water and allow the pot to come to a boil.
Add peas.Stir, lower heat and simmer covered until the rice is cooked.
Let it stand uncovered until extra water evaporates. |
