From the friend who made  Tofu butter masala pizza

Recipe  for Pudina Rice.

 

Make a paste of the following:

1 bunch Mint leaves

handful of Cilantro

6 green chillies (can add more)

2-3 inch piece of ginger (Can add very small garlic piece)

 

Fried the following

Heat 3-4 tbsps oil in a pan and add

1 tbsp of jeera (Can add handful of broken cashews + 1 small onion sliced here)

and once fried well then add

1/2 tbsp corriander powder

1/2 tbsp jeera powder

1/2 tbsp garam masala

2 Potatoes cubed

 

Once the above stuff is ready, add 3 cups of rice (preferably basmati), pudina paste and fried ingredients along with 5+1/2 cups of water (assuming paste comes up to 1/2 cup, making the total water qty to 6 cups) in a rice cooker, mix well and cook.

 

Things to remember:

1. When adding powders, make sure to have potatoes ready and add immediately before the powders get burnt in the oil
2. If the pudina paste is watery in consistency, then measure it and make sure to add only the remaining amout of water qty. 
3. Three fourths of the way through the cooking process in rice cooker, mix the ingredients for uniform flavor.
4. Do not mix too much once the rice looks cooked or when there is very little moisture left (It can become mushy)
