Herb Rice

This is definitely the yummiest, tastiest version I've ever ever cooked or eaten! And the best part is that it's so low cal and a very simple recipe too.

Ingredients:

1 cup Basmati, washed and soaked for an hour

1 medium onion, sliced

2 cloves of garlic, minced

few pieces of whole garam masala

1 cup pudina [mint] leaves, chopped

1/2 cup coriander leaves, chopped

1 green chilli, chopped [I omitted this, because I have a child at home and he can't handle spicy food of course]

Method:

1. In a wok, heat a tsp of oil with a tsp of butter. Saute the whole garam masalas.

2. Now saute the onions and garlic and optionally, chilli. In a separate wok, melt a small piece of butter and fry the rice well.

3. Add the fried rice to the onion-garlic mix and saute very well till it's all mixed. Add water to cover the rice. Now add salt and a couple of teaspoons of garam masala.

4. The important step : Sprinkle the mint+coriander leaves, and close the wok. Allow the rice to cook al dente.

Serve it with a spicy dal or maybe a cucumber raita, enjoy !! :)
