Puthina Rice comes to rescue, whenever i need to cook fast and with less human work. Its a Healthy One Pot Meal. Puthina / Mint is Good for Digestion so try preparing this Rice twice in a month. (weekly once is much appreciated). I usually prepare this with fresh Puthina / Mint Leaves bought from my keera kaara amma. The Fragrance is enough to charge you, when you prepare with fresh leaves.
Here comes the recipe for Healthy Mint Rice.
Grind the mint leaves, garlic and one green chilli into a paste with half cup of water.
Now in a Wide bottomed Pressure cooker, Heat Oil / Ghee, add sombu/ saunf, and fry it till it changes into light brown. Add one sliced onion. fry them well. add one green chilli and fry.
Now add the grinded paste and mix well with the onions. when it comes to boil, add Rice and water. add salt to taste and pressure cook it for 2 whistles in high flame and 2 whistles in slow flame. remove from the stove and let it cool.
Stir the Rice slowly when you open the cooker. Serve it with onion raitha.
