This Mint Rice is a simple rice and will be light food for you tummy ,with no much ingredients and spices. Vnd usually takes chapati and variety rice,So i got bored of using whole spices often in chapati gravies and variety rices.As mint is cooling agent this recipe definitely be lite and cool on your tummy.
