How to Cook Peas and Rice

Put the pan on fire and heat it. Add oil. Wait till it becomes hot. Now add whole spices & immediately add chopped onion.Stir it till transparent. Now drain water from the rice and add to the onions. Keep frying till the water evaporates & each rice is nicely fried. Add double the quantity of water,salt & fresh peas. Cook it open – Do not put a cover on the pan.
