    This recipe is also in The Complete Regional Indian Cookbook by the same author, but sadly it is not indexed. I wish it was, it is avast collection of dishes from across India. Now to the recipe: Pilau dishes are so common from central India, up to Northern India and across to the Middle East. They can be very simple (rice, veg, herbs) to ones with complex layers of flavour. This Northern Indian one with peas and carrots (a superb combination) is of the latter kind. It takes a while to make but is worth the effort and time. Unlike rice dishes in the west, a pilau can form a mean with simple accompaniments. All this needs is any sort of raita. Or it can form part of a more varied meal. (I am enjoying it today with a simple raita, after a week of incredibly long days at work eating rubbish. So this dish is a godsend today. Divine.)
