Pudina Rice Recipe | Quick Lunch Box Recipe | Variety Rice Recipe

My go-to recipe during weekdays is usually Pudina Rice. Tell me who does not like mint? Being Indians we usually have mint in the form of chutney's or dips. This flavored rice tastes , I usually pack lunch for my husband and this is one of them.

We pair the rice with either papads/ curd or simple pickle. I try to do variations to the dish by adding capsicum/ peas to it, which enhances the flavor.
