This global spin on chicken and rice benefits from the heady fragrance of cumin, turmeric, and cardamom infusing the pot. Brown basmati rice has a lovely nutty flavor and toothsome texture. It takes a little longer to cook than white rice, so the chicken only simmers with it for part of the time so that it stays tender and moist. Stir in the peas at the end of cooking to keep their color vibrant. You can thaw them by rinsing with cold water.
