(This makes the rice will be lighter and fluffier).In a fry pan, gently fry the onion and garlic in the oil for a few mins, add the spices and fry for a further min or so, then add the rice and fry for another 30 - 60 secs, to coat the grains of rice.Pour in the hot stock, add the peas, bayleaf and season. Bring to boil, after a min or two, cover pan with the lid, wrapped in a damp tea towel, to ensure a close fit. Turn heat down to lowest setting and leave UNTOUCHED for 15 mins. DO NOT LIFT LID!!After the 15 mins, remove from heat and remove lid, cover pan with a tea towel, without disturbing the rice still!After 5 - 10 mins, tip the nuts in and very gently combine them into the rice whilst fluffying it up with the fork.Scatter with the chopped coriander and serve.Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CHEEKYCHOOK.
