Today I felt a little better after my one week of sickness. I wanted to eat something good but I had no vegetables in my fridge except capsicum ,mint and a potato. So, here is what I came up with. This is the first time I tried pudhina pulav after being tempted by many of my fellow bloggers. I could not decide whether to use only mint or corriander. Finally , I used both 50/50. The end result was too good. My house was filled with good aroma that reached the streets. If you have not tried this before, take my word. Try it. You will not be disappointed. So, here is the recipe... Ingredients:
Basmathi rice- 2 cups
water- 4 cups
mint- 1 small bunch
corrinder leaves- handfull
garlic- 4 pods
ginger - 1 " piece
coconut- 1/4 cup grated
elachi-2
cloves-2
bay leaf- 1 big broken
cinnamon stick- 1" (2 pieces)
star anise- 1
fennel- 1 tsp
potato-1
green chillies- 3 or 4
onion- 1/2 sliced
ghee- 1 tbsp
Procedure:
Grind ginger,garlic, mint, corriander leaves, chillies, coconut and fennel seeds. Heat some oil and ghee in pressure cooker. fry all the spices and then onions and potatoes. Then fry the ground paste until you get a good aroma. Don't over-fry it. Just do it until the color changes from deep green to light green. Add required salt and rice. Fry for a few minutes. Add water. Check for seasonings and close the cooker. Wait until the pressure comes. Put the vent and keep the flame on medium. Wait for 10 to 12 mins. Switch off gas and open cooker when the pressure completely subsides. Open cooker and mix well. Finally ,add fried cashews . Serve with onion raitha.
Egg Capsicum Masala:
Ingredients:
egg- 4
onion- 1/2 sliced
ginger garlic paste- 1 tsp
tomato- 1 chopped
capsicum- 1/2 sliced
sakthi masala powder- 1 1/2 tsp
chilli powder- 1/2 tsp
coconut- 1/4 cup
corriander leaves-few
Procedure:
Heat oil in kadai and fry onions, capsicum and ginger garlic paste. Then add tomato, masala powders and salt. Add ground coconut and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil. check for seasonings. Now add boiled eggs (slit them before you slip them into the gravy). Bring to another boil. Finally add corriander leaves .
Enjoy friends and have a great weekend!!!

wont beleive me Kribha , one of my neighbour made mint pulav today and had sent it over to my house. It tasted very nice and i was thinking to make it someday and here I see it . But she didnot grind the mint I think.. looks great and thanks for the recipe. egg curry looks very nice too.
hey kribha, u r cooking amazing dishes now a days and i am loving it:) mint pulao is my fav too and like u even i add coriander leaves as i dont like too much of minty taste:)
Egg Kurma looks delicious. Nothing like Egg Kurma to make you feel better, along with Mint Pulav makes and excellent combination.
Hi Asha,
Thanks dear. I wanted the color of the pulav to be a little more deeper. I guess I should use more mint next time. Will see you soon.Take care.-krithi
Dear Sukanya,
This is my first try too. I really liked it. If you are planning to try it, I've got one suggestion. Don't grind the mint to a fine paste. Chop and add some. That's what I'm going to do next time.Try it. You will like it.
Hi Richa,
You are most welcome to take this plate. Thanks for your kind enquiry. I'm feeling much better now.
Hi sugi,
Good to know that you had a similar meal. Did u have the same mint pulav too?
Hi Pravs,
Yes dear, one thing led to the other. Anyhow, I've come out of it. Feeling much better and getting ready for my big trip.
Hi Viji,
Glad you liked it.
Hi Priar's,
Hearty welcome to you. Keep visiting.
Hi Aruna,
Thanks for your concern dear. I'm doing so much better. Yep, mint pulav was so aromatic. You should try it to feel it. Hope you give it a try.
Dear Prema,
This was my first try and it turned out real good. If you are going to try it, I would like to suggest that you grind only half of the mint leaves. The rest you just chop and add. It dosen't make a difference in taste but the look is more good. Hope you try it.
Dear Sia,
I was so happy to see your comment. Glad you liked it. Try it sometime.
