Mint Bhath

All the credit for this recipe goes to my sister. She is a psychologist but at the same time great cook too...I learned so many recipes from her. I enjoyed those days when she made "Puttu", especially for me. I really miss her a lot......

I used to make chutney and spice dal powder from mint leaves. But always try to do something different from that. I feel- Now, I have the right recipe in hand to do with mint leaves. This recipe really impressed me. This recipe is very easy to cook, less ingredients and tastes great. Absolutely ,right comfort food for lunchbox and as the picnic recipe. Thanks to my sister.



All you need:
Rice – 1 1/2 cups
Mint leaves – 1 bunch
Red chilli – 2 to 3
