This Mint rice recipe is such a flavourful and also a quick lunch box rice variety, which can be easily prepared in a jiffy. I have tried other versions of this rice, but this is the first time, I am trying this mint pulao recipe. Whenever I buy mint leaves in my weekly purchase, I usually prepare Veg biriyani / Brinji rice or Thengai paal rice. If you have any sudden cravings for biriyani, just add some veggies like carrot, beans, cauliflower etc to this pulao and you can call this as an instant version of biriyani. As all of us know mint leaves have so many medicinal values. It helps in digestion, relieves from blocked nose, a great appetizer and mouth freshener too. This recipe is with step by step pics and a short Youtube video. If you like my video, please share it and don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE to my channel.
