Peas Pulao (Rice With Peas)

Ingredients

1 c long grain Indian Basmati Rice

2 c warm water + extra water for washing and soaking rice

salt to taste

1/2 tsp black pepper powder

1 tsp cumin seeds

1 bay leaf

2 - 2 inch cinnamon sticks

1 black cardamom

1 onion, finely sliced long

1 tbsp raisins

1/2 c frozen peas, washed and drained

2 tbsp ghee or clarified butter

Method

Wash rice thoroughly and soak in water for half an hour. Drain thoroughly.

In a pan, heat ghee or clarified butter. Fry half the onion, until golden brown. Remove and set aside for garnish.

Add the cumin seeds, bay leaf, cardamom and cinnamon.

When cumin seeds sizzle, add the rice. Add salt and pepper. Stir till ghee coats every grain of rice and rice looks glossy.

Add warm water. Bring to a boil. Add the peas and the raisins. Stir once.

Reduce heat to minimum and cover the pan with a lid. Leave a little gap, otherwise water will boil over.

Rice will be done when holes appear on the surface and water has been completely absorbed.

Fork the rice out onto a serving serving dish. This will separate each grain out. Garnish with fried onion. Serve hot with any curry.

Abbie you could probably use mushrooms instead of meat in calzones.

wa salaam

just like a pizza it can be adapted to any taste. This is just a recipe I found on the net. I use my bread machine to make the dough and then just add whatever I like.An easy thing is getting a dollar jar of walmarts spagetthi sauce and using that.

1 package yeast

1 tablespoon sugar

2 tablespoons oil

1 teaspoon salt

2 3/4 cups flour

1 can mushroom, drained

1/4 green peppers

2 slices onions

1 jar Ragu pizza sauce (any flavor you like)

1 teaspoon italian seasoning

1 teaspoon oregano

1 teaspoon basil

1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

1/2 cup mozzarella cheese

1. Dough: Dissolve yeast in 1 Cup of warm water.

2. Mix sugar, oil, salt, and flour and then add to yeast and water.

3. Mix together until smooth.

4. Knead and cover for 30 min.

5. In a separate bowl, mix mushrooms, green pepper, onion, Ragu, Italian seasoning, oregano, basil, garlic salt,

6. Roll out dough in an approximate 10" circle.

7. Place 1-2 cups of sauce mix in center of dough.

8. Add cheese to sauce in the calzones.

9. Fold over and crimp shut.

10. Place on greased cookie sheet.

11. After 15 minutes cooking brush with melted butter.

12. Cook for a total of 25 minutes at 375 degrees or until golden brown Cover with remaining sauce and cheese

Sister Lilac,I may sound dumb..but I really want to know what "calzones" is . :cry:

[lilacfatima 3]

salaam alaikum

sis calzones are for lack of a better comparison ^_^ like a closed folded pizza :D or a really big samosa that taste like pizza. We just had some last night. It's an italian dish.

Main Entry: cal·zo·ne

Pronunciation: kal-'zOn, -'zO-nE, -'zO-nA; käl-'zo-nA

: a baked or fried turnover of pizza dough stuffed with various fillings usually including cheese

And oregano is an herb that is used in alot of italian cooking. If you get italian saesoning it's in there.

[Nida_e_Zahra 5]

Mebbe nida's lucknow is exotic..kyun nida?
