Steps
Rinse the rice 4 to 5 times until the water runs mostly clear. Then soak it in water for 25 to 30 minutes and drain well.
Heat the ghee in a pan over medium heat. Add the cinnamon stick, bay leaf, cardamom pods and cloves and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
Add the cumin seeds and stir. Then add the onion, ginger and garlic and saute until the onion is soft and very light brown.
Add the cilantro and the drained rice. Saute for about a minute so the grains get coated in the ghee.
Stir in the peas and 2 cups of water. Let the mixture come to a boil.
Add the lime juice and stir once. Cover the pan and turn the heat down to low.
Simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, until the rice is fully cooked and all the water is gone.
Pull out the cardamom pods, cloves, bay leaf and cinnamon stick, since they float to the top.
Take the pan off the heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice lightly with a fork and serve.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep the heat low once you cover the pan so the rice steams evenly instead of burning on the bottom.
Do not stir the rice while it simmers, as this makes the grains break and turn sticky.
Use a wide pan with a tight lid so the water evaporates at a steady rate.
Taste a grain before you turn off the heat. If it is still firm, add a splash of hot water and cook 2 more minutes.
Questions
Can I use a different rice?
Yes, but basmati or another long grain rice works best. Short grain rice turns stickier and needs less water.
Can I skip the whole spices?
You can leave out any spice you do not have. The cumin, onion, ginger and garlic still give the rice a good base flavor.
How do I stop the rice from sticking to the pan?
Use enough ghee, keep the heat low after covering, and let the pan sit off the heat for 5 minutes before fluffing.
