How I made this Pudina Sadam(Mint Rice):
Very easy and simple Pudina was made with Seeraga Samba rice. You can see the texture of the rice in the picture is perfect for all types of Variety rice. Being Born and brought up in Thanjavur we Don’t use Whole spices in making a variety of rice like Thakkali Sadam, pudina rice, etc. Also in Hotels, they serve Thakkali Sadam without wholes spices unless it is biryani. This Pudina Sadam doesn’t have biryani whole spices. Still, it is flavourful rice.
We used to go on temple visits in and around Thanjavur. Mostly we carry home food to avoid restaurants. Amma is very particular she always packs food from home. Those days we don’t have aluminum foil or fancy packing boxes, amma pack food in banana leaves or Mandara Ellai. This is how she packs food with potato roast, the only thing I missed is paruppu thogaiyal. She keeps Thogaiyal in kattu soru(we call kalanda sadam).
