Instructions
- Rinse the Basmati rice a few times and place it in a large pot.
- Add the dried dill and peas to the pot.
- Add in the salt, olive oil and water. Place the pot over medium heat and bring it to a boil.
- Once the water is almost evaporated and the rice is almost cooked, wrap the lid in a kitchen towel and place it on the pot.
- Lower the heat and cook the rice for 10 more minutes. Check the rice and see if it's cooked completely. If it's still firm, add 1/4 cup more water and cover with the lid. Cook for another 10 minutes util it's fluffy and fully cooked.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- You can use 2 cups chopped fresh dill instead of dried dill. The process of cooking is exactly the same.
- This is a one pot dish and Basmati rice tends to double in size once cooked, so make sure you're cooking this dish in a large pot.
- You can add the peas at the end, ten minutes before the dish is ready.
- If using frozen peas, add them in the beginning with the rest of the ingredients.
- You can use fresh dill instead of dried dill. Both will make delicious dill rice.
- Wrapping the lid in a kitchen towel is essential for this recipe as well as other Persian rice recipe as the kitchen towel would absorb extra moisture and steam which will result in fluffy rice.
