Mint is my favorite 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 favorite.

    Thanks for answering! I made this today. I love mint, I use it in chutneys and biryanis a lot, but I think I've never made mint rice before. So fresh and yummy!
