Peas Rice (Matar Chawal)

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked rice
• 1 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 1/4 tsp turmeric
• Oil, coriander, salt

Method

1. Heat oil, splutter cumin seeds, then saute the onion until soft and translucent.
2. Add the green peas along with a small splash of water; cover and cook for 4-5 minutes until the peas are tender.
3. Sprinkle in the turmeric and salt and stir well.
4. Add the cooked rice and toss gently on low heat until everything is evenly combined and heated through — fold rather than stir hard, so the rice grains stay whole.
5. Garnish with coriander and serve hot as a simple side.
