Steps:
- Bring water and salt to a boil. Stir in the rice and boil until rice has absorbed all (or most of) the water, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the rice (if needed) and return rice to the pot, and cover to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, melt ghee (or butter) with oil over moderately low heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the cumin, turmeric, ground coriander, fenugreek and cayenne and cook, stirring, for 1 minute longer. Add the potato, carrots, water, and salt. Increase the heat to moderately high and simmer until vegetables are tender and no liquid remains in the pan, about 10 minutes.
- To serve, stir the peas into the other vegetables and remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the yogurt and rice, and serve topped with the jalapeno, tomato, and cilantro.
