Mint is such a versatile herb, it's a great one to grow at home to use regularly. Whether it's in drinks or cooking, the lovely fresh aroma of mint is hard to beat!
An easy and delicious one pot dish that's popular at our place is Pudina Pulao/Mint Fried Rice. There are many variations of recipes but this one is always quick and easy whilst packed with flavour.
Here it is, my version of PUDINA PULAO:
Ingredients: 1 cup cooked Basmati Rice, 1 carrot diced, handful of chopped beans, peas, 1 cup chopped mint leaves, 1 tsp black pepper powder, salt. For tempering, 1 spoon ghee, 1 spoon oil, 1 cinnamon stick, cashews, cumin seeds, 1 spoon crushed garlic, 1 onion sliced, few chillies as per desired spice level.
Make:
1. In a wide thick based pan, saute all the tempering ingredients in ghee & oil.
2. Once the onions are translucent, add in all the vegetables salt and pepper powder. Cook for a few minutes then add chopped mint leaves. Mix, cover and cook a few more minutes.
3. Add in cooked rice and mix well. Turn off flame and rest for 5 minutes before serving piping hot with Raita. Enjoy delicious aromatic Pudina Pulao!
