This entry for the eventWho’s Gonna Cook For Me??? is from my dear friend-Rammia Bhuvanendran.Since she is a non blogger I have made a seperate post for her entry..
Normally he is a person who rarely enters the kitchen,,, but he know how to cook,,, so, I didn’t take his word for serious and said nothing….. On a fine Sunday morning, things went the usual way,,,,,, u know lazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzy day for anyone in the world wud be a Sunday!!!!!!!!!!.. Later by 10am my in-laws said that they were to go for lunch to their relatives house and we both felt like staying at home…….
Suddenly out of a bloom hubby said that he is going to cook for us today and I was really shocked…. We had quite a conversation and finally it was decided that he is cook and the dish was also decided as “Mint leaves Biriyani” ….. I got rumbles in my stomach because that is one of my very favorites and also felt like not to spoil my happy lazy Sunday…
Ingredients:
Basmati rice – 2 cups (approx. 300gm)
Big Onion – 2 no’s
Tomato – 2 no’s (medium size)
Green chillies – 5 no’s (chopped)
Garlic – 6 pods (finely chopped)
Ginger – 1 inch piece (finely chopped)
Mint leaves (ground) – 1 ½ cup
Cinnamon, Cardamom,
Cloves, Bay leaf – 4 to 5 no’s each
Oil – 2 table spoon
Salt – to taste
Preparation:
Soak rice in water for 1 hour.
TIPS:
1. You can add coriander powder and chilli powder, 1 tsp each for better taste.
2. You can even cook the rice separately and the masala separately and mix both.
3. The mint leaves can be sautéd in a tava and then grinded, but grinding it fresh gives more taste and the aroma is soulful.
