Mint has a strong flavor. For any biryani’s, pulao’s mint adds extra ordinary aroma. Mint chutney goes fabulous with Idili and dosa. At my home we grow up mint in a pot to pick it fresh when needed. Even now I have mint planted in a pot in my balcony. This is a simple mint pulao with peas and potato.
Kongunadu Special
Ennai Kathirikkai Kuzhambu / Oil Brinjal Gravy
Ennai Kathirkkai is one of our fav. Brinjal is cooked well in tamarind juice. It tastes awesome with steamed white rice.
Cabbage Pulao / Muttaikose Pulav
Pulaos are famous north indian rice dishes. Muttaicose is one of our fav Vegetables. At any time they will be available at my fridge. I got this recipe from my Mother-in law,tried for a small party and it was a super hit. A mild rice with any gravy of veg or non-veg would be a best combination for this. My rice was mashed up a little bit coz of excess water added while cooking.
Mushroom Gravy / Kalan Kulambu
