Rice Pilaf with Carrot and Green Peas image

This is a quick and healthy rice recipe. I generally like to prepare this sometimes for dinner to things simple. Any chicken curry or other dishes like chilli chicken (I will post this recipe sometimes later when I prepare it), some lentils (I will post lentil recipes later too) will go with this.

1/2 c diced carrot
1/2 c green peas
1 tsp ginger powder/paste/grated
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder

sufficient water to cook rice

Steps:

  • 1. Wash and soak rice for 15 minutes and then drain water.
  • 2. combine all ingredients in a rice cooker (or in microwave proof bowl) and cook the pilaf as you would cook rice. Its extremely simple, delicious and healthy.
