- Wash rice by rinsing in cool water. Then soak in cool water for about 30 min. Drain.
- In a large nonstick saute/fry pan over medium heat, heat 1 Tbsp. oil.
- Add in onion and cook, stirring, till onion is tender. Add in garlic, and saute/fry for about a minute. Add in cardamom, coriander, cinnamon and ginger. Saute/fry for another minute and add in the rice. Saute/fry till rice is translucent/soft and begins to brown. Add in water, bay leaf and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, partly covered, for about 10 min. Most of the water will evaporate and steam holes will show through rice.
- Add in peas, but don't stir. Cover tightly and let simmer for 5 min more. Turn off the heat and let sit for 5 - 10 min, covered.
- Prepare the raita: In a bowl whisk together the yogurt, cucumber, mint, cumin, chili pwdr and salt and pepper.
- Uncover the pilaf, season with salt and pepper. Remove bay leaf, cloves and cinnamon stick. Turn pilaf out onto a serving platter and pour half of the raita over rice. Pass remaining raita.
