- In a kadai heat oil, add cinnamon,cloves saute for a second and add the chopped onion. When it turns pink add the paste and saute well. Add a little salt, I already added salt to the rice while cooking, so just for the mint little more I'm adding. If you have cooked rice without salt then add a little more.
- When the water gets absorbed add cooked rice and mix well.
Saute for a while till the mint get coated evenly on the rice. Switch off the stove and sprinkle lime juice. Serve hot with potato chips and onion raita!.
