While returning from india, i got 3-4 packets of Broken Wheat/Godhumai ravai. On and off i make some khichdi or upma with it. Tried out this Mint Pulav for our weekend lunch. It was very tasty and light. The Aroma of Mint and Coriander along with Pav Bhaji Masala, complimented well. After a round of Diwali Sweets and Eid Holiday's, it was really good to eat something light, healthy and also tasty!!!!

1 Cup Godhumai Ravai/Broken Wheat
Clove, Cardamom and bay leaf one each
1 Medium Size Onion, Finely chopped

½ Cup Mint Leaves
A small ball of tamarind, small gooseberry size

- Add the grounded mixture to this and ½ Cup of Water and add all the masala powder and salt.
