Instructions
- In a medium heavy pot with a tight fitting lid, heat oil on medium heat and saute onions, garlic and turmeric for about 2 minutes, until tender.
- Add the rice and stir, saute 2 minutes longer, stirring frequently. Add the water, peas, bouillon cubes, bay leaves, black pepper, and taste for salt, it should be flavorful and salty enough like a soup, adjust as needed.
- Let the water boil on a medium-high heat stirring once at this point. As the water boils down and just barely skims the top of the rice, reduce heat to very low and cover 15 minutes.
- The steam will cook the rice so do not open the lid. After 15 minutes, shut the flame off and let it sit at least 5 more minutes without touching the lid. The steam will finish cooking the rice without burning the bottom. Then fluff with a fork and enjoy.
