Pudina Gajar ka Pulav \ Mint And Carrot Pulav

Here in our house in Sydney, our house owners love gardening. They grow many veggies like eggplant, Mint leaves, karipatta leaves, green chillies, Cucumber, etc, etc.

This time I picked some garden fresh mint leaves , tossed them in oil with some carrots and cooked them with rice. The result was amazing.

Ingriedients:
Pudina leaves (mint leaves) - cleaned and chopped - 1 cup
1 Carrot - chopped
Basmati rice - 1 cup
Mustard seeds - half teaspoon
Jeera (Cumin seeds) - half teaspoon
Garam Masala - half teaspoon

Procedure:
1. Wash the rice and keep it aside for around 30 minutes.
2. In a steel pressure cooker, pour 2 tablespoon oil, add mustard and wait till it splutters.
3. Add Jeera and chopped carrots and chopped pudina.
4. Next add the washed rice and mix well. 
5. Add the garam masala  and pinch of salt and mix well.
7. Finally add 2 cups of water and required amount of salt (as per taste) and pressure cook it for 3-4 whistles.
8. Once the cooker cools down, mix it well.
