Wash rice in running water until the water runs clear. In a deep pan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil and add the washed and drained rice along with a little salt and 1 tsp oil. Cook covered on low flame until the rice is cooked through. Keep aside.
Heat oil in a broad wok. Add cumin seeds. When the seeds start to crackle, add the curry leaves, chopped green chillies and ginger-garlic paste. Saute for a minute.
Add chopped onions and mix well. Cook for 2-3 mins till the onions start to turn transparent.
Add the chopped tomatoes, pav bhaji masala and salt. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes.
Add the tomato ketchup and boiled peas. At this point, you can add more veggies like green capsicums, cauliflower, boiled carrots etc. Since I was specifically making for children, I kept it simple. Cook covered for 2 mins.
Fluff the rice with a fork and add to the wok. Mix slowly to coat the rice with all the mixture.
Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot.
