Mint rice

There is nothing better than a pulao well-made. You need to make sure that the rice is perfectly soft and fluffy. The spice added to it should compliment and not detract the flavor of the rice. And when you finally eat, it should be the perfect canvas for every curry or sabzi that you make. Most of the time when you make this dish, it involves a lot of work. But, it does not have to - not every time. For me, when it is Friday night and you need to something quick and delicious - you make this rice. This is an adaptation of the rice recipe that my aunt makes so as to wire it for convenience.
All you need is rice, mint, onion and chillies. And, lots of pepper. You can make all of this in a rice cooker. That will cut down on the cooking and the utensil time. A one-pot wonder for any occasion.

Ingredients:
A bunch of mint
1 medium onion sliced
1 green chilly chopped
1and 1/2 cup of rice soaked
salt to taste
3 cups of water
2 tbsp of pepper
Oil for frying

Method:
Heat oil. Saute onion and chillies. Cook till onions are light brown.
Add the mint and pepper. Steam it for two minutes. Add the rice and salt. Fold in all the ingredients. Pour in the water and set it to cook till the rice it soft. Add a little water if you think the rice is a little chewy. Fluff the rice with a work.
I served this rice with egg curry and dahi baingan. But, this dish is so versatile that you can serve it with any curry from vegetarian to non-vegetarian. Happy cooking!
