Rinsing the rice before cooking helps to remove excess starch, resulting in fluffier rice. For a richer flavor, toast the cumin seeds in a dry pan for a minute before adding them to the rice. If you don't have frozen peas, you can use fresh peas or other vegetables like carrots or corn. Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
