NOTES

Instead of basmati rice you can use any regular rice.
Amount of green peas depends upon you .
You can use fresh peas or frozen peas .
Instead of water you can use coconut milk.
Instead of plain water you can use stock [maggi veg or non veg cubes]
I use the ratio of 1 : 2 [rice and water].
If you feel the rice is not cooked well and the water is completely evaporated then sprinkle little water and keep it on dum.
For dum you can cover with foil and then place the lid.
You can also garnish with fried onions.
