Phudina(Mint) Rice

 I had prepared Phudina Rice twice. It tasted good except for once it had less Phudina and  the other time I burnt the rice! Over all...it was yummy! Best thing about this recipe is that it can be made in 15 minutes!

Ingredients: 

Rice- 1cup

Peas

2 medium sized potatoes

2-3 cloves

Cardamom

Bay leaves

2 onions

Masala ingredients:

20-30 mint leaves

2 chillies

3-4 garlic pods

Ginger

Boil rice with 2 potatoes sliced into two halves and lots of peas. (tip: add salt in the rice while boiling so that it gets mixed well and tastes better).

While the rice is getting boiled, prepare the masala. Grind the mint leaves, green chillies, garlic and ginger.

Put 4-5 spoons of oil in a pan. Add bay leaves, cardamom and cloves followed by sliced onions. Fry the onions till they become golden brown. Add the masala and heat till it does not seem raw. Mix the boiled rice (ofcourse peas and potatoes too) with the masala. Heat it for 2-3 minutes. 

Phudina rice is ready!

P.S.: You can add groundnut, grated coconut and cashew nuts provided you like them. I didn't add because I don't like them messing with the original taste!

Jai Gurudev!
