Preparation: Heat the oil in a wide casserole dish, then add the cloves, cinnamon and cardamom. Mix well and sauté over a low flame for a few minutes. Add the onions and sauté until they turn brown. Add the green peas and sauté for over 2 minutes. Add the rice, 4 cups of water and salt, mix well and lower the flame after it first starts to boil.
