Cumin - abt 1-2 tbsp
Whole garam masala 
Cashews roasted for garnish
Green peas - a little more than 1/4 cup (optional)
Rice - 2 cups cooked and cooled (add little oil while cooking so that the grains won't stick!!)

You need to do :

1. Grind the mint leaves, green chillies and coconut to a fine paste.. add very little or no water while grinding.
