Instructions: 1. In a medium saucepan bring the water to a boil with salt and the 1 teaspoon oil. Mix in rice and raisins. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 40 to 45 minutes, until rice is just tender. Mix in peas and let cool to room temperature.

2. In a large bowl mix vinegar, sugar, cardamom, and cloves. Using a whisk or fork, gradually beat in the 1/3 cup oil until well combined. Lightly mix in cooled rice, cinnamon stick, cucumber, cashews, and onion. Cover and refrigerate for about 2 hours to blend flavors.

3. Mix mayonnaise and yogurt until smooth. Fold into rice mixture. Serve in lettuce-lined bowl.
