My today's recipe is Mint Peas Pulao. I had lot of mint leaves and I wanted to use them up. So I was looking for a easy and flavorful rice made with mint. I remember seeing Mint Peas Pulao at Nalini's space. I tried this for lunch and it came out wonderful. We all loved it. Here is the recipe.
What are the ingredients needed?
To grind to paste
Mint leaves, (cleaned and chopped), 1 1/2 cup
Coconut(grated), 3 Tablespoons
Green Chillies, 3 nos.
Other ingredients
Basmati Rice, 2 cups
Oil, 2-3 teaspoons
Fennel seeds, 1/2 teaspoon
Bay leaves, 1 no.
Cloves, 4 nos.
Cinnamon, 1" small piece
Star Anise, 1 no
Onions, 1 large
Ginger garlic paste, 1 teaspoon
Green Peas, 1 cup
Garam masala, 1 teaspoon
Cashew, 7-8 nos.
Ghee, 1 tablespoon
Salt to taste
How it is made?
- Wash and soak basmati rice for 20 minutes.
- Grind the mint leaves, green chillies and coconut into a fine paste and set aside.
- Heat oil in a cooker pan and add fennel seeds, bay leaves, cloves,cinnamon, star anise and fry for a minute or two.
- Then add onions and fry till they turn translucent. Then add ginger garlic paste and the ground paste and also garam masala and fry till the raw smell goes.
- Then add the green peas, soaked rice and add 3.5 cups of water , then add the salt to taste and pressure cook it.
- Fry cashews in ghee and keep them ready.
- Once the pressure is released add the fried cashews along with ghee and gently mix it.
- Serve it warm along with raitha.
Notes
- I used frozen green peas. In case if you have dried green peas, soak them atleast 4 hours ahead before cooking.
- Once it is cooked, you can add some lemon juice gently mix and serve.
Nice combo with beautiful green color.
