This Rice dish I often serve as a main course with some Raita, yoghurt sauce:
Here is what u need:
Ca 1/2 us cup dried rice (Basmati is best)

Some veg. oil to fry in
2 tsp Garam Masala (can be bought ready in asian markets e.g.)
1 tsp Cumin seeds
some salt
1/2 us cup frozen green peas
1 potatoe raw, cut in small bites

Total 1 1/2 the volume of rice of water (when using Basmati rice). (less if canned tomatoes are used)
put the oil, like 1 tbsp in a pot. Add spices and then shortly after add the drained rice. Stir while frying. Soon there will come a lovely smell from the rice. Then add water and the remaining ingredients. Stir and let simmer on a low heat, til the potatoes are cooked and the rice also.
