Directions:
Directions:
Soak the basmati rice in cold water for 15 minutes. Drain, rinse and set aside.

Add all of the mint paste ingredients into a blender and puree. Set aside for now.

Add the oil to the pot. Allow it a minute to heat up, then add the whole spices and stir. Once the cumin begins to brown, add the mint puree.

Stir-fry the mint puree for 4-5 minutes or until most of the liquid from the mint puree evaporates, then add the rice, water, frozen peas, potatoes, salt and garam masala and mix well.
