Mint Fried rice


This recipe is actually my husband's. He loves to cook and makes really yummy food. In this recipe we add Mint leaves, coriander leaves, lots of vegetable. This gives it a very nice and spicy taste.

Recipe:
Mint - 1 cup
Coriander - 1 cup
Green chilies - 6-8
Onion - 1/2
Mixed Vegetables - 1cup
Rice - 1cup
Ginger-garlic paste - 1ts
Bay leaf - 1
cumin seeds, butter, oil, Salt to taste

Preparation time: 30 mins
Servings: 4
Course: Main meal

Add 1ts of butter to deep bottomed pan and let it melt. Once the butter is melted and warm enough, add cumin seeds. As the cumin seeds start to splutter, add 3 vertically sliced green chilies, ginger-garlic paste and bay leaf and saute for 1min or until a nice aroma rises, then add onion and saute until the onion turns translucent. Now add rice and vegetables to it and fry for 3 mins. Make sure that rice does not turn brown. Remove the pan from heat and keep it aside.

Now, to a pan, add 1ts of warm oil, add 2 thinly sliced green chilies and cleaned mint and coriander leaves. Saute them for 2 mins or until the water in the leaves starts leaving. Blend it into a smooth paste.

Add the mint-coriander paste to the rice mixture. Cook them in rice cooker until the rice is done. Add salt to taste.

Your Mint fried rice is ready. You can serve it with some thick curd!!
