I am a crazy lover of Mint.This mint has got a unique aroma that makes you go crazy about it.I would love to include mint in almost all the dishes i make:P Unfortunately my husband hates it.Whenever I make lunch for me alone, I prepare this mint rice and pack off. You can find this dish under variety rice column in most of the south Indian restaurants.This can be made very easily at home.I always love the virginity of Mint without much add-on's. So, I have kept it simple. Trust me, this will taste divine. Try out at home for one pot meal.
