This recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or as a side dish to complement a main course.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water before cooking to remove excess starch, which will help prevent the rice from becoming too sticky.
- Use freshly minced garlic for a more intense flavor compared to pre-minced garlic.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, you can add a pinch of chili powder or some finely chopped green chilies along with the garlic.
- For a richer flavor, sauté the garlic in a bit of oil before adding it to the rice and water mixture.
- Using frozen peas is a convenient and time-saving option, but you can also use fresh peas if available.
- Garnish the dish with additional coriander leaves for a burst of freshness and color just before serving.
Once your Indian basmati rice with peas is ready, you’ll have a fragrant and flavorful dish that’s sure to be a hit at the dinner table.
