1
Boil the rice until it is just done.
-
2
Drain off in a colander, and place under running cold water to stop the cooking process, and ensure that the rice does not stick together.
-
3
We can also use left over rice if preferred.

4
In a large pan, heat the oil, and then add the green chillies.
-
5
Once Chillies are sputtering, add the mustard seeds and heat until they give off a nutty aroma.

6
Add the curry leaves and onions, and cook until the onions are soft.
-
7
Once the onions are soft, add the potatoes and peas, salt, turmeric and sugar.

8
Mix well, cover and simmer till the potatoes are done (about 10-15 minutes) If potatoes seem to stick, splash a few drops of water in the pan to prevent catching.

Remove the cover, increase the heat and add the rice after fluffing it with a fork to ensure they are all seperate.
