👨🍳 Инструкции

Season the fish pieces with salt and pepper.

Heat the oil or ghee in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Stir in the cumin, coriander, turmeric, crushed cardamom pods, and cinnamon stick. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- 4
Add the rinsed basmati rice to the pot and stir to coat the grains with the spices and aromatics. Toast the rice for about 2 minutes.
- 5
Pour in the water or fish broth and add salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 15 minutes.
- 6
Gently place the seasoned fish pieces on top of the rice. If using, add the diced bell pepper and peas around the fish.
- 7
Cover the pot again and continue to cook for another 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and the fish is opaque and flakes easily. Avoid stirring during this time to keep the fish intact.

Let the pilaf rest, covered, off the heat for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice gently with a fork, incorporating some of the fish and vegetables. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
