Start by washing the rice with cold water. Add the rice, the water, the fresh turmeric, ginger and black pepper corns to a large pot. Bring to boil and then turn heat to low and let simmer for 45 minutes (or 25 minutes if you use long grain rice).

Crush the cumin and fennel seeds in a mortar until they are fairly grounded. Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the ground spices and the mustard seeds and stir-fry for a minute or two. Add the onion and cook another 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion starts to soften. Add the garlic and cook for 2 more minutes while stirring.

Add the leeks, cook for 5 minutes or until soft, then add mushrooms. When the mushrooms start to get juicy add the chiliflakes, turmeric, black pepper and salt. Next add the kale, stir through and cook for 10 minutes more until tender. At last add the peas, cook another 2 to 3 minutes until warm and soft.

In the meantime the rice should be ready. Take of the heat and set aside for 5 minutes with the lid closed.

Taste and adjust seasoning to taste.

Enjoy!
