1. NOTE: Use smaller amount of water for firm rice, larger amount for softer rice. 2. Start defrosting peas. Cut potatoes into 4 x 1/2 x 1/2 inch sticks. Stir together yoghurt, ginger, chili, parsley and coconut in a medium bowl, drop in potato sticks and mix to coat. Let marinate while assembling the other ingredients. 3. Heat oil in a large skillet with a tight fitting lid over medium high heat. Add cumin seeds, cloves, cinnamon and bay leaf ( if fresh it might splutter!), and cook until cumin has turned several shades darker to a reddish brown color, about 2 minutes. 4. Add potatoes with the yoghurt to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown on all sides, about 10- 15 minutes. 5. Add rice, fry for another minute, until rice is evenly coated with oil, add turmeric, water, sugar, salt and lime juice. Stir and bring to a boil, cover tightly and reduce heat immediately to very low. Let cook undisturbed for 15 minutes. 6. Add peas without stirring, cover again and cook 5 minutes longer. Remove from heat, fluff with a fork, mixing in peas, re-cover. Let rest another 5 minutes to firm up rice grains. Add butter and fluff again until butter is mixed through. Serve garnished with lime wedges. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
