Method

                               Soak the basmathi rice for 15 minutes and grind the mint leaves,green chillies and coconut to a fine paste.
Heat a pressure pan with oil and ghee,season it with the spices given "to season".Add the cashews and fry the onion till transparent,then ginger&garlic paste.
Now add the ground paste,garam masala powder,saute it for a minute till the raw smell goes off.
Add 13/4 cups of water and let it boil,once the water is boiled add the soaked rice and green peas,cook it for one whistle in a medium flame.Then keep it in the low flame for 5 minutes.Open it after the pressure subsides and finally add the lemon juice and fluff it with a fork gently.
Serve it with raitha,pickle or chips.

Enjoy.......
  • Instead of using ginger&garlic paste it can be grind along with the mint leaves.
  • Coconut milk and tomato can also be added for extra rich flavor and taste.
  • Some times I add coriander leaves along with the mint leaves.
