Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 mugs basmati rice
1 cinnamon stick , halved
8 green cardamom pods
6 cloves
2 tsp cumin seed
100g fresh baby spinach , roughly shredded
200g frozen pea

Steps:

  • Thoroughly rinse the rice in a bowl or sieve with several changes of water until the water runs clear. Drain well. Heat a large pan on the stove, tip in the spices, then dry-fry for about 1 min until they are toasted (not burnt) and beginning to release their aromas. Tip the rice into the pan, stir well over the heat, then pour in 4 mugs of water and add 1 tsp salt.
  • Bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for 8 mins until the rice is almost tender and the water has been absorbed. Stir in the spinach and peas, then cover and leave for 2 mins so the peas defrost and the spinach just wilts.
