Found the recipe on an Indian cooking website & believe it to be the same dish that my friend Raksha used to make for me.

Ingredients

2 cups basmati rice (or long grain rice)
2 cups water
2 tablespoons butter (or ghee)
1 tablespoon cumin seed
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 cup shelled green peas
1 cup potato, peeled and chopped fine
2 tablespoons powdered coriander seeds
1 teaspoon powdered garam masala
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon turmeric
4 cups water

Directions

1
Wash rice and soak in 2 cups of water for an hour. Drain well.
2
In a heavy pan, heat the butter and add the cumin and the ginger.
3
When the ginger becomes a light brown, add the peas and potatoes, coriander, garam masala, salt and turmeric. Stir-fry till well mixed.
4
Add the drained rice & 4 cups of water, bring to a boil uncovered, then lower the heat to simmer and cover. The rice should be done in 10 minutes.

This was pretty good. I added 1 c. frozen cauliflower and 3 tsp. of chicken bouillon instead of salt. I will make it again! Thanks for the recipe.

I wasn't fussy on this rice, but my husband loved it. He is taking leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

I'm a big fan of Indian cuisine, so this pressed all the right buttons for me! The finished dish looks very pretty as the turmeric makes it go the most beautiful colour. I felt the cumin seeds got a bit 'lost' (but that may be because they're one of my favourite ingredients) so I shall add more next time.
