  • Cook Basamathi rice by adding 1 tspn of oil and little salt. Spread the rice in a plate and let it cool.
  • Add some oil in a wide pan. fry onions till they turn brown. Add tomatoes and fry for 2 - 3 mins till it becomes soft.
  • Meanwhile grind mint, chillies, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, cloves. Add this paste to the tomato/onion mixture. Saute for a while till the raw smell evaporates. Add little salt, red chilli powder and garam masala.
