Indian Style Rice and Peas – Rice Cooker or Stove

  • 2 Cups Basmati Rice – Washed and Drained
  • 3.5 to 4 cups water (or use the lines on your own Rice Cooker)
  • 1 Cup Frozen Peas (I pour boiling water on these to thaw a little)
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
  • 1 teaspoon Turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 4 Cardamom Pods

I make this in my rice cooker, as it makes it very easy.

Turn the rice cooker on and let it heat a little: Add butter, Cumin seeds, turmeric, salt, garlic and cardamom pods.

Saute these together for around 2 minutes, then add the rice and water and cook as usual.

When it has finished, fluff it up with a rice spoon and add the peas. Wait for about 5 mins for the peas to heat though and take out the 4 Cardamom Pods.
