Preparation

Step 1

Grind the mint and coriander leaves to a fine paste with the lemon juice. Do this just before making this dish, not beforehand.

Heat the oil in a large pan, add the cumin seeds and green chillies and let fry for a minute.

Add the minced onion and fry till it begins to turn soft and brown.

Now add the ground mint-coriander paste and fry for a minute or so, stirring well.

Toss in the cooked rice and salt to taste, mix it all carefully with a large spoon, without breaking the rice grains.

Stir it about on medium heat till the rice is thoroughly warmed through. Serve hot with any raita.
