Method:

• Wash and grind mint leaves, green chiilies, coconut  and ginger to a coarse paste.

• Chop onion finely and keep aside.

• 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!.
