       Title: Curried Rice
  Categories: Chinese
       Yield: 8 servings
  
       2 c  Basmati rice, white or brown
     1/4 t  Ground cinnamon
     1/8 t  Ground cardamom (or seeds of
            -cardamom pods, crushed)
     1/2 t  Turmeric
       1 t  Salt
     1/2 c  Slivered almonds
     1/2 c  Raisins
       4 c  Boiling water
       1 c  Green peas, fresh or frozen
  
   Toast the rice in a large skillet over medium heat until it starts to
   become opaque and somewhat chalky in appearance. Add remaining
   ingredients, except peas, and bring to a simmer.
   
   Cover the pot and cook until rice is tender and all the water is
   absorbed (20 minutes for white rice, 60 minutes for brown rice).
   
   Stir in the peas just before serving (a few minutes sooner if you're
   using fresh peas).
   
   Serves 6-8.
