Rice with green peas & almonds

This rice dish turns the boring side rice you usually order with your curry, into a luscious, complex dish with great texture and flavour. It goes beautifully with any lean dal.

  • Ingredients

    • 180g white rice
    • 4 cardamom pods, slightly bruised
    • 4 cloves
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1/4 tsp turmeric
    • 45g slivered almonds
    • 20g margarine
    • 135g fresh or frozen peas

  • Instructions

    1. Wash rice thoroughly under running water until water comes out clear. Drain and reserve.
    2. Heat up margarine in a pan over medium heat, and fry the almonds until they get slightly golden.
    3. Add the cardamom pods, cloves and drained rice to the pan. Fry and stir the ingredients in the margarine for a few minutes.
    4. Add salt and turmeric, and stir again.
    5. Add water and peas, cover with a lid and turn down heat.
    6. Let it cook until rice is done, and turn off heat completely. Let it sit for a while.
    7. Fluff up the rice and serve with a lean dal.
