Steps

1

Take your cooking pot,add oil.Let the oil heat.Add your onions.
2

When your onions starts to turn brown in colour.Add your garlic,ginger,tumeric paste
3

Keep stirring at this stage as your mixture may burn easily.Add your salt,Pilau masala and keep stirring.
4

Add your tomato paste,meat,and green peas and keep stirring
5

Add 2 cups water and let the mixture cook on its own flavour for 5 minutes.Stir at intervals.
6

Then add water,taste for salt.A jug of rice is equivalent to 2kgs of rice,therefore in this case, normally you will need 6 jugs of water.But I like reducing mine with one jug to be compensated by the steam towards the end of cooking the rice.
7

When the water starts to boil,add your rice and stir once.
8

Let your rice cook until the water reduces
9

When the rice starts drying,reduce heat to the lowest setting.Cover your pot with a piece of foil paper,put the lid on top and let your rice dry completely.
