Steps:
- 1. Rinse rice thoroughly 2 or 3 times, then soak in cold water for about 45 minutes.
- 2. Meanwhile, heat 2 Tablespoons of oil in a large skillet. Add cumin and let heat until it just starts to change color. Add turmeric, bay leaf, cloves, cardamom, and cinnamon. Stir in the ginger, garlic and chilies, and cook over medium heat for just a minute or so.
- 3. Add onion, tomato and green peas, and cook for 3 minutes more. Drain the rice and add rice to the skillet, stirring gently for a minute or until thoroughly blended. Add water, and season with salt. Cook on high heat, stirring constantly. When water is almost all absorbed, stir in lemon juice.
- 4. Reduce heat to low, cover skillet, and allow the rice to simmer slowly for approximately 5 to 7 minutes, or until the rice is completely cooked. Serve immediately.
