If you have no time to prepare a side dish or raita, simply it can be had with plain curd also!  Normally, mint leaves will get spoiled within very few days even if you keep them in the fridge. I want to share a nice tip with you to avoid the spoiling! Clean the mint leaves and grind them in a blender along with little salt into fine paste. Add little water, if needed. Then, transfer the paste into a glass bottle and refrigerate it. It will last for at-least a month or more :) I will use this paste for chaat items, chutney, rice items, etc. Preparation Time: 25 - 30 minutes Servings: 2 Ingredients: Rice - 1 1/2 cup Mint leaves - 1/2 bunch Green chillies - 3 Ginger - 1 inch Garlic 3 - 4 cloves Grated coconut - 1/4 cup Cardamom - 2 Cloves - 4 4 - 5 small pieces of cinnamon 1 medium size onion Po...
