Mint pulavo (Pudina pulavo)

Mint pulao - preparation time 20 mins
One day i got up late and only less time to prepare lunch for my husband. I thought of making simple pulavo with mint. It took very less time as the ingredients used for making this recipe is less and readily available in our home.

Ingredients:-

Fresh Mint - 1 cup
Fresh coriander - 1/2 cup
Cashew - 8 (finely chopped  and roasted in ghee)
Ghee - 2 tbsp or according to your taste
Sesame oil - 4 tsp
Green chili - 1 or 2 (slit and keep)
Onion - 1 (chopped to thin strips)
Garlic pods - 10
Salt - to taste
Rice - 1 cup (i used ponni raw rice so 1:2.5 ration rice:water)
Water - 2.5 cup
Bay leaf -2
Clove - 1

Preparation method:-
In a tawa add ghee & oil to heat. Add the spices (bay leaf, clove) and roast till flavor comes (do it in medium or slow flame).
Now add garlic pods, onion, green chili and fry till onion is cooked.Half cup of mint leaves and coriander is added and fried till nice aroma comes.
Add washed rice and fry for few mins, to this add water, salt and mix well. When this boils, transfer to a vessel and pressure cook for 5 whistle and leave it to cool.
Mix the remaining fresh mint leaves with cooked pulavo and transfer to serving bowl. Garnish with roasted cashew.
Simple, easy to make and tasty mint pulavo. When i tried my husband liked this dish very much. You can serve with onion raitha & fried pappads.
