Mint Rice Recipe
Fresh Mint is my favourite flavouring to food. They somehow make food so fresh and flavourful.Talking about flavours, these rice is packed with lots of flavours and this is one of my favourite. I made a mint masala paste and mixed it with rice. The tempering which goes in this paste makes the difference. They make this rice unique and flavourful.
