Wash the rice in several changes of water and drain. Cover generously in water and soak for 30 minutes. Drain thoroughly.

Heat the oil in a small, heavy pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add the onion and stir until it is brown. Add the rice, salt, garam masala, and dill. Stir for a minute. Now put in the broth and bring to a boil. Cover tightly, turn heat to very low, and cook 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook the peas in boiling water for 2 minutes or until just done and drain. Add the drained peas to the rice. Cover tightly again and cook another 5 to 7 minutes. Stir gently before serving.

This recipe yields 5 to 6 servings.
