Green Peas Rice



Green Peas Rice with Instant Chicken.

Ingredients

1 cup rice,
2 cups( 500 ml) water,
2 tbsp oil,
5 peppercorns,
1 black cardamom,
1 piece cinnamon,
1/2 cup green peas,
1/2 tsp shahjeera,
pinch sugar, salt to taste,
1 tsp lemon juice.

Method

  • Heat oil in a pan, add sabut(whole) masala then add rice. stir well till rice is toasty, then add green peas, hot water, sugar, salt, lemon juice and let it boil.
  • Once the water is boiling reduce heat to low and cover partially and let cook till rice is cooked and all water is evaporated.
  • Let rest for 10 minutes then open the cover, fluff the rice with a fork and serve with the Instant chicken or chicken of your choice.

Note

Ma never added cloves to make any kind of pulao or biryani or savory rice dishes coz she said that cloves in rice made her associate it to saakhar bhat(sweet rice)(recipe to follow soon )

So sometimes I add cloves at other times I do not, so adding cloves is optional

Either ways this rice definitely tastes nice.
