Make it

Method

  1. Heat oil in a heavy pot, bloom cumin and cinnamon, then cook onion until lightly golden.

  2. Add methi and peas and sauté until the leaves wilt and excess moisture evaporates.

  3. Drain rice, add it to the pot with salt and water, and bring to a boil.

  4. Cover and cook on low until the rice is tender. Rest off heat for 10 minutes before fluffing.

Kitchen notes

  • Wash methi well and use tender stems.
  • Water needs vary by brown-rice variety; follow the pack ratio when different.
