Method:- Wash the rice in cold water and soak for 1/2 an hour. Heat oil in a heavy bottom pan or kadai, add onions and fry 2-3 minutes now add garlic and fry till light brown. Add 2 cups water. Now add curry and coriander leaves, tomatoes, potatoes, peas and all the masala with salt. Allow the water to boil and add soaked rice. Cook rice first 3-4 minutes on high heat,then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12-14 minutes until rice is tender. ( if rice is not done , add very little water. here in UK rice doesn’t need too much water Serve hot with plain yogurt, Raita and papad.
