Ingredients

  • 3-4 tbsp chopped garlic
  • 1" piece ginger, chopped
  • 2-3 tsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 4-5 large sprigs cilantro, roughly chopped
  • 4 mint stems, with leaves, chopped
  • 3-4 tbsp cooking oil
  • 1 bay leaf (optional)
  • 2 cups Basmati rice - rinsed 2-3 times
  • 3 ¾ cups hot water
  • 2 tsp salt or enough for flavor
  • 1 cup frozen green peas

Preparation

Step 1

In a food processor or blender, pulse garlic, ginger, lemon juice, cilantro and mint till blended with the consistency of thick paste, not too drippy.
In a deep set saucepan or dutch oven(large enough to cook rice), heat oil over medium heat. If using, add bay leaf.
If needed, reduce flame to medium-low and stir in blended green paste. Saute until ingredients are cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn.
Mix in cleaned, drained rice. Stir in with the ingredients until well coated.

Step 2

Take heat to high. Add hot water and salt. Stir.
Bring rice to boil. Reduce flame to medium- low and keep rice covered. Simmer for 2 minutes.
Open lid and add the peas. Turn off heat. Cover tightly and allow the frozen peas too thaw and plump and rice to cook through (all water absorbed) with the remaining heat of the pan, about 10-12 minutes.
Fluff with fork before serving.
