Tips:

• Here I used normal rice instead of that you can also use basmati rice or Biryani rice it will increase the taste of mint rice.
• Add lemon juice if you want, after adding rice in the cooker.
• Same procedure should be followed for preparing coriander pula but for coriander pula use one handful coriander leaves and few mint leaves.
