Today I made an attempt to fry the chicken with  mint leaves. I came to know this recipe, when I went to my sister's house one day.It was so tasty .The taste and the aroma that I enjoyed is still in my mind.  Not only that mint leaves are very good for our health. So I want to make and share with you. Lets see how to prepare the chicken with mint leaves. That is pudhina chicken.
