    Hi Corazzie,
    Nice recipe.
    My mommy makes in a different way.. She boils the rice.. And cools them down.. Grinds paste of fresh mint and fry onions to golden brown, add boiled potato and peas and add the fresh paste and sauté till the raw smell goes and the oil oozes out.. Now add rice and mix and lastly few drops of lime juice and then serve.. They are yummy lunch box dishes with some simp,e raita..

    MINT - CORIANDER RICE
    Ingredients:
    1. fresh mint, coriander leaves- paste
    2. ginger, garlic, cinnamon, cloves, 4-5 shallots, green chillies, little aniseed- paste
    Procedure:
    Take a cooker pan.
    Add 2 tea spoons of oil. Then mustard seeds.
    After a few seconds, add paste 2 and a few curry leaves.
    let it fry till u smell the aroma, and get light browny color.
    Add paste 1. wait till oil floats.
    Add enough water. (1:2 ratio , 1 tumbler rice & 2 tumbler water)
    Add salt as per your taste.
    When water starts boiling, add rice.
    Let it for 2 to 3 whistle.
    Before serving, add fried cashews, and Coriander leaves.

    If known already or anything wrong, bear with me.
    (I'm not an expert in cooking)
