Wash the rice in plenty of water and soak for 30 minutes.
In a heavy bottomed pan or pressure pan, heat mustard oil, fry the chillies and remove with a slotted spoon, keep aside.
In a mixer, grind the onion, turmeric powder, ginger and garlic to a fine paste.
Add this paste to the same mustard oil in the pan and fry until oil leaves the masala, say around 5-7 minutes.
To this, add the peas, potato, shallow fried badiyan and salt and stir well for 2-3 minutes.
Add 1 and 3/4 cups water. Bring to a boil, add the soaked and drained rice. Cover and cook for around 10 minutes until the potato and rice are cooked. If cooking in pressure pan or pressure cooker, switch off after one whistle. Open when cool and fluff with a fork.
Remove in a serving bowl and garnish with the crushed fried red chillies.
