This is very easy recipe, with basmati rice and green peas. It is very mild and fragrant, and great as a side dish, or for those picky kids who don't like their peas. The word 'matar' means green peas in Urdu.

White rice is sauteed in butter and then simmered with saffron infused water. The secret of obtaining fluffy rice is in having the rice hot enough that when the boiling water is added it does not stop boiling.

The rice is cooked in chicken broth instead of water to give it a good flavor. This dish would complement any meat, poultry, or fish. Delicious! 

Jeera (Cumin) Rice

Cumin seeds are fun to cook with, they come alive when you drop them in hot oil, and they impart a very special flavor to this rice. Use your imagination if you 'd like to add other tastes to this already tasty dish. Grated carrots, raisins, ginger or cinnamon would be nice.
