ALLEN DIWAN: Hi, my name is Allen Diwan and I'm the chef and owner of Kashmir Indian Restaurant in Budapest and we are here on behalf of Expert Village. And the next dish we're going to make is pilau rice. We're going to make pilau rice with green peas. You want to have a nice pot with a nice lid to go on top of it because this will help steam the rice. And we're going to use a lot of dried spices to put in the rice. We're going to use black cardamom. We're going to use cinnamon sticks. We are going to use cumin seeds, bay leaves, cloves, green cardamom, black pepper, star anise and mace. This might look like a lot of spices but you just want to use a little bit of the spices and make sure that these spices will actually give a very nice aroma, very nice flavor to our pea--green pea pilau.
