Cooking

Sauté the vegetables
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they soften. Then add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

Add spices
Stir in the turmeric powder, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper to the sautéed vegetables. Mix well to combine, and sauté for another minute to toast the spices.

Cook the rice
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.

Add peas
Once the rice is cooked, stir in the peas and cover again. Let it sit for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the peas to heat through.
