Instructions
- Cook the basmati rice seperately, while cooking add the whole masalas also sothat the flavour seeps into the rice.
- Once the rice is cooked, remove the whole masalas, take out the rice on a plate and set aside to cool.
- Grind coconut, green chillies and the mint together to form a smooth paste
- Heat oil in a kadai and add finely diced onions and the ginger garlic paste and saute till the onions are pink in colour.
- Add the diced capsicum and let it get cooked. Add the required amount of salt to it.
- Once the capsicums are cooked, add the coconut-mint paste and cook it further. Take care that the coconut does not get burnt.
- Once this is cooked, add the cooked basmati rice and mix well.
- Serve hot with curd or potato chips...
- For garnish, one could add fried kaju.
