Mint flavoured dishes are always mouth-watering and yummy. We generally use mint leaves even when we prepare yummy juices because of its wonderful flavour. Mint flavoured Pulao are instant and simple to make. In my childhood days, my mom used to make simple mint rice without masala and pack my lunch but mint pulao is much more tastier than the plain mint rice. Mint (Pudina) Pulao served with any raitha would make the meal richer.

Tips for making Mint Pulao:

  • We can use regular raw rice also. Basmati rice would be best choice for pulao as it cooks faster and becomes fluffy.
  • Soak the rice atleast for 20 mins that will help the rice gets cooked faster.
  • Slow cook the rice once all the water is absorbed till its fully cooked but not mushy. Do not stir the rice again and again that will break the rice and makes it mushy.
  • We can do the same pulao directly in a pressure cooker. Cook in low flame for 20 mins.
  • We can make this same pulao in instant pot. Start with saute mode and finish all the process till rice and water are added. Then cancel the saute mode. Close the instant pot with lid and move to vent “Sealing” position. Cook in Pressure cook / manual mode for 4 mins. Allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 mins and then force release the pressure.
  • Relish with onion or boondi raita!
