1. Heat the oil in a pressure cooker over medium-high heat and add the cumin seeds, red chili peppers, cinnamon, and cardamom pods they should sizzle upon contact with the hot oil. Quickly add the onion and cook, stirring, until golden, about 3 minutes.
2. Add the garlic, green chili peppers, peas, cilantro, garam masala, and salt and cook over high heat, stirring, about 2 minutes.
3. Add the rice and the water, secure the lid of the pressure cooker, place it over high heat and cook until the pressure gauge indicates high pressure. Then remove from the heat and allow the pot to depressurize on its own, 12 to 15 minutes. Carefully open the lid. Do not stir or cook any more, or you will break the rice grains.
