In a pressure cooker, heat oil/ghee and add the whole garam masala. When cumin splutters, add the chopped onion and the ground paste . Heat through. Then add the chopped tomatoes, coriander powder, peas, cooked soya, salt and rice and fry for a bit. The add adequate hot water. Add a pinch of garam masala. Cover the cooker and give 1 whistle.
PS: Its my go to recipe for a quick and spicy dish. I love it! I also substitute the peas with corn kernels or both. The sweetness of the corn goes well with the heat of red chillies.
