Steps:

• In a large heavy skillet or saute pan with a tight lid (can be non-stick), sprayed with oil, saute the onion, bell peppers, hot peppers, and garlic until the onion begins to brown a bit. Add water a tablespoon at a time to keep them from sticking, as needed.
• Add the cilantro, coriander, and cumin, and stir-fry for a minute.
• Add the raw rice and stir-fry briefly.
• Pour in the beer and the hot water with the bouillon, and the peas, with pepper to taste, plus your Protein choice and any Optional addition you might be using.
• Bring to a boil, cover and cook for 15-20 minutes(longer for whole wheat basmati-about 45 mins), or until the rice is done.
• Toss ingredients and taste for salt and pepper.

Steps:

• In a saucepan with a tight-fitting lid bring broth to a boil with salt, oil, and garlic.
• Stir in rice and cook, covered, over low heat 20-30 minutes, or until water is absorbed and rice is tender.
• Fluff rice with a fork and toss with coriander and salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Place the capsicum, onion, garlic, coriander and parsley in a food processor. Blend to a fine paste. If you dont have a processor- chop ingredients as finely as possible or use a mortar and pestle. Set aside.
• In a saucepan, heat the butter and oil. Add the rice and fry gently for 2 to 3 minutes- until the grains become translucent.
• Quickly stir the herb paste into the rice. Continue to cook over heat for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Pour in the boiling stock and season with pepper. Bring to the boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook 10- 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the stock has been absorbed. Watch closely after the 10 minute mark and add some extra water if more liquid is required.
• Remove from the heat and leave to stand , with the lid covered for a few minutes.
• Fluff the rice with a fork to seperate the grains and serve garnished with chopped coriander leaves or sprigs.

Steps:

• Bring 3 quarts water to a boil in a heavy pot.
• Rinse the rice in several changes of cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
• Add the rinsed rice to the boiling water and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes from the time the water returns to a boil.
• Drain the parboiled rice well and clean and dry the pot.
• Add the butter to the pot and cook over low heat until melted.
• Stir in the coriander seeds and pepper.
• Add the parboiled rice to the pot, making a mound in the center.
• Use the handle of a cooking utensil to make 5 or 6 holes in the rice, all the way to the bottom of the pot.
• Lay the lemon zest over the top of the rice.
• Cover the pot with a kitchen towel and a lid, folding the edges of the towel up over the lid (to keep the towel from burning).
• Cook rice over low heat, undisturbed, until the rice is tender and a crust has formed on the bottom of the pot, about 30 to 35 minutes.
• Remove the pot from the heat and let rice stand, tightly covered and undisturbed, for 30 minutes.
• Spoon the loose rice onto a serving platter and garnish with the lemon zest.
• Season with salt to taste.
• Break up the crust and scatter it over the rice. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In a small pan over a medium heat, bring the water to the boil; add the salt and turmeric; reduce to a simmer and cover tightly.
• In a larger - preferably heavy-based - pan, over a medium heat, heat the ghee or oil; add the yellow asafetida powder and chopped onion and stir to combine for 1-2 minutes, add the rice and sauté for about 2 minutes, or until the rice becomes whitish in colour.
• Carefully pour the simmering water into the pan containing the rice, stir briefly, and if the peas you are using are fresh, add them now; increase the heat so that the water is again boiling, then reduce to a very low heat and cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid.
• Simmer the rice for 15-20 minutes or until the water has been absorbed by the rice and the rice is tender and flaky; if you are using frozen peas, add them 5 minutes before the end of this stage of the cooking; stir through the rice quickly, and replace the lid as soon as you can.
• Remove the pan from the heat and leave it covered and undisturbed for 5 minutes to allow the grains to firm up.
• Fold in the cashews, chopped baby spinach leaves and chopped coriander leaves, and stir well to combine the ingredients.
• Serve hot, garnished with the remaining herbs.
• NOTES: (i) I have suggested adding the chopped baby spinach leaves in step six, as baby spinach leaves wilt very quickly once they come into contact with something like hot rice. If you would like your spinach leaves not just wilted but cooked, add them when adding the frozen peas towards the end of the cooking time in step four. (ii) The Zaar Kitchen Dictionary suggests that either garlic powder or onion powder are suitable substitutions for yellow asafetida powder.
