Rinse rice under cold water until water runs clear.

Soak rice in water for 30 minutes, then drain.

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Add chopped onion, garlic, and ginger; sauté until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in diced bell pepper, carrot, and tomato; cook for another 5 minutes.

Add drained rice to the pot; stir to coat with the vegetable mixture.

Pour in water and season with salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and bay leaves.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover; simmer for 15-20 minutes until rice is tender.

In a separate pan, cook bongafish with thyme and coriander over medium heat until cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

Flake the fish into pieces and mix gently into the rice.

Add green peas and lime juice; stir to combine.

Let sit covered for 5 minutes before serving.
