1. Wash the Basmati rice well in running water and keep aside to soak for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, place rice in a fine sieve to allow excess water to drain. 2. Heat the oil in a deep heavy-bottomed pan. When it is hot, add the onions and cook until soft. 3. Add the peas and stir well. Add the rice and fry for 2 minutes. 4. Add the 3 cups of water, turmeric and salt to the rice mixture, and set it up to boil over a medium flame. 5. Once the water comes to a boil, reduce the flame to a simmer and cover the pan. Cook until the water seems to have almost disappeared (tiny holes will form on the surface of the rice). 6. Pour the 1/2 cup of warm water over the top of the rice, and cover the pan again. Simmer for another 5-7 minutes, and then turn off the fire. 7. Allow the rice to sit for 10 minutes and serve hot. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
