Mint Pulav with Potatoes

This is another easy but a very mild rice recipe. Maybe it is the cumin but it settles on your stomach pretty well.





Ingredients

 
1. Dry roasted cumin seeds coarsely crushed - 2 teaspoons (or more if you don't mind the taste)
2. Onion thinly sliced - 1 small
3. Potato, peeled and cubed - 1
4. Minced/grated ginger - 1 Tbspn
5. Green chilly minced/cut finely - 1 or more as per your taste
6. Uncooked Basmati rice soaked in water for minimum 15 minutes- 1 1/4 cups
7. Water - 2 1/4 cups

Method

Dry roast the cumin and crush it coarsely. Heat oil in a large saucepan and fry the onion until brown. Saute ginger and green chilly for a few minutes and then add potato and half the mint along with a teaspoon of cumin. Saute for a while. Add the drained rice and fry it for a minute before adding water. Add enough salt (1 teaspoon) and close the lid when water boils. Leave it thus in low fire for 10-15 minutes. Do not stir the rice after adding water to avoid breaking the rice. Sprinkle the remaining cumin and mint on top before you serve.

Enjoy!
