Mint Rice or Pulao Recipe

Mint rice or pulao.

A very flavourful and spicy one-pot meal. Goes well with any veg or non-veg curry. Or serve it with simple onion cucumber raita or fruit raita. You can make this delicious rice for tiffin too.

Whenever we have to cook lip-smacking dish in a short notice one pot meal is the best option.

This post is going to be a part of 95th #Foodiemonday bloghop one pot meal theme.

You don’t have to spend lots of time in the kitchen. Just grind the spices and make it in a pressure cooker for one whistle. You can add whole spices as tempering. But I have ground them to make the rice more flavourful. You can also make this aromatic rice on stove top. Sharing both the methods.

Best part is this flavorful rice is very easy to make. You have to grind the herbs with ginger garlic and some whole spices. You can use half ghee/clarified butter and half oil or make with only ghee or only oil. You can use olive oil or any flavorless vegetable oil. You can make this rice in pressure cooker or also in pan or wok. Sharing both the methods. For pressure cooker use little less than 1&1/2 cup water. And in wok or pan use 2 cup water for 1 cup Basmati rice.

Recipe Developer Behind The Blog

Hello there!

I am Sujata Roy. A homemaker, a blogger, a passionate cook, a recipe developer, a home baker, and lastly a foodie.

Experimenting in the kitchen is what I love and enjoy doing the most. Specially experimenting with vegetarian dishes and egg-less cakes and cookies is what interests me more.

My loved ones are fond of vegetarian cuisines, so I have them in my mind whenever I dish out a new recipe.

However, I do not limit my experimental cooking to vegetarian recipes only, non-vegetarian recipe ideas are also dished out. And you can also get many healthy recipes in this blog, including different types of baking ideas with healthy ingredients. So enjoy healthy foods without compromising on taste.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Happy Cooking!
