Pudina Rice

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)

  Healthy protein cabbage After the onion gravy success, I was excited to find out who is next in the boxring. A cabbage. I have  afound a way to make my family love it - a lentil eg urad or moong (fried initially, adds crunch - learned from a friend's sister visiting then) in copious amounts and mandolin sliced cabbage I wanted to see if there was a different way to make it. I saw this split chickpea addition to it and wondered why I didnt think of it before. I know of a recipe with soaked split chickpea and onion curry (diced onions, but now I am thinking another recipe would be to give the special treatment to onions with a blend and then fried well - elevates any main ingredient even simple one like soaked split chickpea. oh no, now reimaging all the great food could have been if done well - thinking chole curry -- its like once you know a mistake and have tons and tons of papers, to go back and correct). In some months, when for religious reasons, people dont eat onion, t...
