Ghee , vegetable oil
Salt - 3 + 1/2 tsp for rice , 1/2 tsp for capsicum
Preparation method :
Wash & drain the rice.
Heat some Ghee in a deep vessel in which you want to make fried rice.
Fry the nuts , raisins ( ready to take when looks plum) , slit green chillies & Onions in order.
Onion should be well fried and brown . Keep the fried things aside.
Add the Cloves,Cardamom ,Cinnamon sticks in the Ghee.
When the cloves starts to splutter , add the Ginger - Garlic paste and saute.
Now add the peas and drained rice. Add enough water , 3 + 1/2 tsp salt and allow to cook .
Note : Usually the water added is double the measure of rice. But it would be perfect if you add a little bit less than the double measure.
When there is enough steam in the vessel ( water starts dropping from the lid) , lower down the heat and cook the rice in very low temperature . ( I usually turn offs the heat) .
Meantime we can prepare Capsicum . Heat Ghee ( you can also use vege. oil) in a nonstick pan. Add Capsicum and saute until it is slightly soft . Season with salt and keep aside.
When the rice is done check with a fork to see if the water has been absorbed .
Then toss in the Capsicum , Fried onions, nuts , raisins and chopped Mint leaves . Mix with the fork. Close the lid and keep for 5 min. Peas - Capsicum pulao is ready now .
Serve with a Yogurt- onion- tomato salad and papad.
I served it with salad and Beef Potato curry.
