Cook the rice with 2 cups of water along with a little salt and a tablespoon of oil until all the water is absorbed. Allow the cooked rice to rest for a while and use it to make the Pudina Rice only after it has completely cooled down.
While the rice is cooling we will make the pudina masala.
Wash the pudina leaves. Using a mixer grinder, grind the pudina leaves along with the green chillies and tamarind into a smooth paste.
Heat the oil on medium heat, add the mustard seeds and allow it to crackle. Stir in the urad dal and roast it until it turns light golden brown.
Add the onions and saute until the onions turn translucent.
And then now, add the ground pudina mixture and salt. Give it a stir and let it cook for 5 minutes until the mixture turns a little thick.
Turn off the heat and finally stir in the cooked rice to this mixture until well combined.
Transfer Pudina Rice into a serving bowl.
Serve Pudina Rice along with raita for your lunch .
