    Pudina Rice is made with fresh mint leaves and spicy masala powder made of dals and coconut. This is a mixed rice variety that can be done very quickly and makes an apt neivedyam during this Navratri Season as this is a No Onion No Garlic Recipe.

    This is what I made for Day 4 Prasadam along with Masala Moong Dal Sundal making it a green dishes today.

    Wanting to cover all possible dishes, I went through my collections of clippings and written notes. This dish surely makes a wonderful rice to be enjoyed as a packed lunch as well.
