Ingredients

4

quarter cup Fresh mint leaves

1 & half cups Basmati rice, washed and soaked

1 teaspoon Ginger, grated

quarter cup Onion, Chopped

half cup Peas

Tips

Always use fresh mint for a brighter flavor compared to dried mint.

Adding peas provides a sweet contrast and enhances the dish’s nutritional profile.

Serve with yogurt or a simple cucumber raita to complement its flavors.

Directions

Prepare the Rice: Drain the soaked basmati rice and set aside.

Heat the Oil: In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.

Sauté the Aromatics: Add the chopped onions, green chilies, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onions become translucent.

Cook the Rice: Add the drained rice to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the rice is coated with oil and lightly toasted.

Add Water and Season: Pour in water and add salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is cooked and all the water is absorbed (about 18-20 minutes).

Add Mint and Peas: Stir in the chopped mint and peas, cover again, and let it sit for 5 minutes off the heat to allow the flavors to meld.

Finish with Lemon Juice: Fluff the rice with a fork, sprinkle lemon juice over it, and gently mix.

Notes

Individuals with GERD or acid reflux may want to avoid mint as it can exacerbate symptoms in some cases.
