MINT/PUDINA PULAO(புதினா புலாவ் )

MINT/PUDINA PULAO

Pudina/Mint pulao is one of the easy one pot dishes. Nowadays am trying out variety of pulaos. Pudina pulao is one out of them.

This is little different from our normal pudina rice ie., mixing pudina chutney with boiled rice. Obviously taste will also be different. No need to say, it is perfect for packing lunch box. Simple onion raita itself will goes well with this rice.

Ok now coming to this recipe,
