Simple mint pulav or pudhina sadham

Simple mint pulav or pudhina sadham - preparation time 25 mins
I tried this rice when my mixy was not working properly and left with pudhina to make rice. My idea of making pudhina thogayal went of and tried making pudhina rice in my simple briyani style. It came out well and everyone liked this easy and tasy pudhina rice.

Ingredients:-
Fresh pudhina - 1 bunch or leaves 1.5 cup (cleaned and washed)
Ghee - 1 tbsp
Sesame oil - 3 tsp
Green chili -  2 (slit and keep)
Onion - 2 (chopped to thin strips)
Salt - to taste
Rice - 1 cup (i used ponni raw rice so 1:2.5 ration water)
Water - 2.5 cup
Cinnamon stick - 1/2 inch
Bay leaf -2
Clove - 2

Preparation method:-
In a tawa add ghee & oil to heat. Add cloves, bay leaf and roast till flavor comes (do it in medium or slow flame).
Now add onion, green chili and fry sligthly, add washed rice and fry for few mins,
Add water, salt and mix well pressure cook for 4 whistle and leave it to cool.
Transfer the pudhina rice to serving bowl and garnish with fresh pudhina leaves and roasted cashew (optional).
When i tried my husband liked this dish very much. You can serve with onion raitha or cucumber raitha & deep  fried pappads.
