Moms Food!

I was so anxious to visit Amma as its been 4 months I haven't visited my home.Day finally has come when me and my hubby started to Hyderabad.5 days have passed so quickly.Mom made some of my favorite dishes and the rest are exception as they are his favorite :).Back to Chennai today,is a gloomy day,now I recollect how badly I missed home.

All the past 3 weeks I was preparing recipes of my mom,unknowingly.I was probably missing my mom and her food so badly that all the dishes I prepared recently tasted just like amma's food.

And Today's Recipe is,
Pudina Fried rice and Oats Upma for breakfast
Potato onion Curry,Methi buttermilk (majjiga) for Lunch.

For Potato onion curry recipe ,I have posted in here.

Simple Pudina Pulao

You want to have something tasty in less time,then this is the option.All you need is,

Fresh Pudina leaves
Rice
Green Chilli
Onion
Coriander Leaves (Optional)
Cashews.

Method:

1.Cut onion pieces,green chillies, Remove pudina leaves aside.
2. Grind Pudina,Coriander,Green Chillis along with sufficient salt in a grinder and put aside.
3.Take a pan, heat a tablespoon of oil and fry the onion till golden brown,pour the pudina paste in this and let it boil covered(you get nice aroma).
4.Add the cooked rice and fry for 2-3 minutes.
5.Garnish with cashews and pudina.

Note :
I added coriander to make it more tasty :).You can eliminate if you want.Also, while after adding onion ,you can add tomatoes /garlic paste if you want.I want to have a mild taste so didn't add that.

Combination :
I have it plainly.But Jeera curd goes very well with this .Just powder jeera and mix with thick curd.Or you can just try onion raitha/cucumber raitha.Pudina rice is ready.
