Place vegetables on top of rice; do not stir. Simmer, covered, until rice is done and vegetables are<br />

tender but firm, 5-10 minutes. Place peas on top of rice during last 2 minutes of cooking. remove from<br />

heat. Let stand covered for 10 minutes to allow rice to become plumper and fluffier. Serve garnished with<br />

brown-fried onions.<br />

Luchi – puffed bread<br />

1 cup plus 1 tbsp (265ml) all purpose flour<br />

1 tsp baking powder<br />

1 tbsp vegetable oil<br />

6 tbsp warm water<br />

additional flour for dusting<br />

vegetable oil for deep frying<br />

Method<br />

Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl. Make a well in the center, add oil and blend with your fingers<br />

until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add water to form a dough that holds together.<br />

Knead and let rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.<br />

Pinch off a portion of the dough and make a ball about 1 ¾ inches (4cm) in diameter by rolling between<br />

the palms of your hands. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out into a disc about 4 ½ inches (11cm)<br />

in diameter and 1/16 inch (1.5mm) thick; if rolled too thin, it may not puff up. Shake off excess flour.<br />

Heat oil in a deep fat fryer or saucepan to 375F (190C). Carefully drop a disc into the hot oil. It will rise<br />

to the surface and puff up immediately, either entirely or in several places. Remove with a slotted spatula<br />

and drain on paper towels. Since the cook in a few seconds, I fry one luchi at a time.<br />

2 tbsp raisins (preferably golden)<br />

2 tbsp toasted cashews or slivered almonds<br />

1 tsp ground cardamom<br />
