Peas Pulao

I used a pressure cooker, so if you have one use that, if you don't just use a deep pot that can cook rice

Add the cumin seeds to some heated oil. Next add the cardamom, bay leaf, cloves and cinnamon stick and allow them to flavour the oil. Give it a minute and add the minced ginger & garlic, green chillies and the onion and sauté until the onions are soft

Next add in the coriander powder and chilli powder and the frozen peas. Mix well and let the masala powders cook through. Add the 2 cups of soaked rice, 4 cups of water and the required amount of salt

If you are using a pressure cooker, allow this to cook for 2 whistles. If you are not, cook through until the water vanishes and the rice is nice and fluffy

ALTERNATIVE:** If you have an electric rice cooker. Follow the steps until the masala powders cook through and then transfer the ingredients from the pot into the electric rice cooker, along with the rice, water and salt - give it a good stir and let it cook!
