Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup basmati rice
  • 1 1/2 cups boiling water (roughly)
  • 2 teaspoons turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (chilli powder)
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 1/2 green pepper
  • 1 or 2 red chillis
  • a handful of peas

Instructions

  • Chop the onion, green pepper and chilli. In a large, deep frying pan or wok, fry these ingredients for a few minutes until they soften.
  • Add the rice into the pan, followed by the water. Stir the rice, making sure it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • You may want to add the water in bit by bit as it gets absorbed. This will make sure you don't use too much water and get soggy rice.
  • Stir in the turmeric, chilli powder and garam masala (if using). Bring the rice to the boil and add the peas.
  • Simmer until the rice has absorbed the water and serve.
