How to Make Aarsi's Ultimate Pea Pulao
- Wash and soak 1 cup basmati rice in water for 30 minutes.
- Heat 2 tablespoons ghee in a large pan or pot over medium heat. Add 1/4 teaspoon asafetida, 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, 2 bay leaves, 4 cloves, 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns, 1/4 cup cashews, and 1/4 cup raisins. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Add 2 cups water, 1 tablespoon coriander powder, 1 teaspoon garam masala, 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste), and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil.
- Stir in 1 cup frozen peas and the soaked basmati rice.
- Gently stir, then cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed. Do not lift the lid frequently.
- Fluff the rice gently with a fork. Avoid over-stirring.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional).
- Serve hot with raita or mint chutney for a complete and flavorful meal!
