Notes

If for some reason your rice isn't cooked through almost fully. Add a half a cup of boiling water before adding the peas and Tuna. Stir well and put back onto a very low flame with the lid on for another 10 minutes. Once the rice is tender add the Tuna and peas and cook through again
You could use 2 Tablespoons mild curry powder instead of the other spices
