Hi Sangeetha,
I have a bunch of questions.
After sauting the ground mint it didnt look as dark as seen in your pic no:3. Anyhow I stopped sauting
when i felt oil is coming out of the mixture. Any thoughts on this?
While mixing rice with the sauted mint mixture (last step) the flame should be on or off?
In the pics above did you use garam masala or whole?

Appreciate your valuable comments.. :-)

Hi Soumya, The color may be dependent on a lot of things. Keep in mind all varieties and
brands of ingredients are different and might impart different colors to a dish. In my kitchen I
use homemade garam masala powder and in this recipe, I have used garam masala powder.
The goal is not to get the exact colors to match the photographs, but to get closest to the taste
of the recipe. :-) and while mixing rice keep the flame low and mix well. I hope this answers
your question. Thank you.

Cheers!
