Indian Green Pulao

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    1 cup Basmati rice
    1 medium onion, chopped
    12oz package frozen peas
    4 cloves
    1 small stick cinnamon
    1 clove garlic(minced): optional
    2 to 3 bay leaves
    2 tablespoon oil (more if you like)

Directions:

This is an easy way to make rice more exciting. Typically, Basmati rice would be the best, the aroma is unbeatable, but use whatever white rice is available.

Heat oil in a deep pan and fry onions till slightly brown. Add cloves, cinnamon, bay leaves and garlic and stir. Add rice and stir for 2 to 3 mins. The rice should be coated with the oil. Add 2 cups water and allow thw pot to come to a boil. Add peas.Stir, lower heat and simmer covered until the rice is cooked. Let it stand uncovered until extra water evaporates.

This recipe is one that really really REALLY makes rice taste And not only does it make it taste good, it makes the house smell so wonderful.  A GREAT way to jazz up plain rice.
