Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare Ingredients

   Soak one small bowl of rice in water for 10 minutes. Slice two small onions and keep one small bowl of green peas ready.

2. 2.Heat Oil and Temper Cumin

   Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or kadhai. Once hot, add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

3. 3.Sauté Onions

   Add the sliced onions to the wok and sauté until they turn golden brown.

4. 4.Add Peas and Spices

   Add the green peas to the sautéed onions and fry for 1-2 minutes. Then, add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of garam masala. Mix well.

5. 5.Add Rice and Coriander

   Drain the soaked rice and add it to the wok. Stir the rice gently for a short while to combine with the peas and spices. Add the chopped fresh coriander.

6. 6.Add Water and Cook

   Add two small bowls of water (double the amount of rice) to the mixture. Bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the flame to low, cover the wok with a lid, and cook for 7-8 minutes until the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked.

7. 7.Fluff and Serve

   After 7-8 minutes, remove the lid. Gently fluff the Matar Pulao with a fork to prevent it from sticking or overcooking at the bottom. Serve hot and enjoy!
