    Method

    • step 1

      Chop the onion, green pepper and chilli. In a large, deep frying pan or wok, fry these ingredients for a few minutes until they soften.
    • step 2

      Add the rice into the pan, followed by the water. Stir the rice, making sure it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
    • step 3

      You may want to add the water in bit by bit as it gets absorbed. This will make sure you don't use too much water and get soggy rice.
    • step 4

      Stir in the turmeric, chilli powder and garam masala (if using). Bring the rice to the boil and add the peas.
    • step 5

      Simmer until the rice has absorbed the water and serve.

    Looks great, but why is everything in 'Cups'? Hate the Americanism of everything....

    Really liked this - I used chicken stock instead of water (you can use veg stock too i guess) - gave it a bit of extra body I think. Brill recipe though, thanks.
