ingredients

1 pound green peas
1 pound Basmati rice
8 ounces red onion
8 ounces tomato
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 teaspoon cloves
3 cinnamon sticks
1 teaspoon red chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
8 ounces butter or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon chicken base
OR
1 cube chicken bouillon
3 cups water

directions

Gather ingredients. Coarsely cut onions lengthwise. Melt butter solids in a stockpot and put onions in and mix.

When onions turn dark brown, add the water. Bring water to boil. Simmer for 5 minutes until water turns brown. Strain mixture through cheesecloth and remove all onions.

Put water back in stockpot and bring to boil. Add peas, tomatoes, cumin seed, cloves, red chilies, salt and cinnamon sticks and simmer for 3 minutes. Make chicken stock from base/cube.

Add chicken stock and bring mixture to boil. Add rice. Water level should be 1 inch above rice. Add water if needed. Turn the heat to full.

When the water is absorbed by rice, cover the pot and turn heat to low. Cook until el dente (rice grains should be long and separable).
