To make Jeera Matar Masala Rice, first, rinse the rice thoroughly with two changes of water. Let it soak for a while. In a pan, add the soaked rice and water, mix them, and bring it to a boil on high flame for 2-3 boils. Turn off the flame and drain the water from the rice using a strainer. Keep the rice aside.
In a separate pan, heat ghee and add bay leaves, cinnamon, cumin seeds, hing (asafoetida), curry leaves, and Kashmiri red chili. Now, add the boiled peas, broccoli, and capsicum (bell pepper) to the pan. Add salt, turmeric, garam masala, and amchur powder, and mix everything well.
After mixing, add the boiled rice and gently stir. Cover and let it cook for 2-3 minutes. Once done, uncover and check. Jeera Matar Masala Rice is ready! You can serve it with raita, yogurt, or papad.
