Mint Powder at home in Microwave & Natural Drying | Kunal Kapur Recipes | How to make Pudina Powder

For Pudina Masala Recipe - www.chefkunalk...
Mint is abundant in summer and some of the best quality comes during summers. So this makes it the best time to dry mint and use it for months. There are 2 common ways to dry mint at home. One is natural air-dried which can be done under a shade on a sunny day or under a fan in a room.
The other way is to do it in a microwave. In my experience, natural drying gives a stronger flavour in dried mint as compared to the one done in a microwave. Also, the colour of the air-dried mint is more even and lighter green whereas the other is dark, deeper green to black and sometimes dark brownish.
I recommend using a microwave to dry herbs when you need them immediately and do not have the time, as sir drying can take anywhere from a day to 2 days(sometimes more). Air drying depends upon how much heat & humidity is in the air.

Mint dries wonderfully in fridge also. Wash and dry and put in the fridge uncovered. It takes a little longer time but is very simple and hygienic

Chef , I do it in summer in microwave - but today while doing it it become bit brown . Then for the 2nd batch I followed your tips and came out really green .. thank you 😊

[@geetabalan5900]

Don't throw away the stems.Just plant them in a pot and you will have them growing again.

[@bhavanavijay1428]

Place the stems in a glass of water for a day or two a d then plant them.

Instead of throwing away Mint stems , put them in water and enjoy the joy of Nursing a plant, and the bonus mint after 16 days also 🦋🦋🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃

Yes, I too grow mint from stems. They grow and can be used over and over by cutting only the ends. The plants stay for years.

[@anuradhasundaresan4424]

Yes I do all times👍🙏

[@avanipatel6508]

@@s.g3452 how to do please.

[@avanipatel6508]

@@anuradhasundaresan4424 how?

[@s.g3452]

@@avanipatel6508 after plucking the leaves put the stems in a glass of water. Keep the glass indoors at a semi lighted space without disturbing for 5 to 10 days. After 5 days observe if small roots have grown through the glass. You can add water if water evaporates. Sometimes leaves too start growing. Now take a planter pot with soil and water the soil till it is pliable and soft . Now just bury the stems end one by one with an inch gap. Keep in a well lit place but away from direct sunlight for 7 days. Then keep in sunlight. Within one month you will be able to get leaves. Always cut/trim the upper part of the stems or pluck only leaves. In this way the plant stays for years.

[@yaminimenon8965]

Thank you chef. Now I can store mint powder, usually it gets black in few even though I store it safely

[@chandrikakakad4146]

Air drying is healthy all natural vitamins are not lost and retains the mint taste, in microwave only looks wise it is more green but in high heat all health benefits of mint are lost, its ok for hotel business point.

[@radhika1962]

Great idea , I tried it with coriander, but it took a long time to dry up , can you give me a few tips for this.

[@tarakangal6550]

I normally take the mint wrap it in a few paper towel and leave it in the fridge a few weeks and it's great it dries very nicely but I will do it the microwave way thx I learn something kunal🙂

[@CelebritiesJindagi]

God bless you.. u are great cook ... Love this 😊 difference is the oven and sun dried.. which none is the best in traste smell everything.. please reply me . thank you

[@gkrishnan4829]

Best procedure for microwave oven is to run for 30 seconds in microwave, leave it out for two minutes after stirring, let it cool, then again microwave for thirty seconds and leave it out for two minutes. This way run in microwave for six to seven times. For later heating from third time to end, reduce the microwave timing to 25, 20, 15, 10 till the leaves become crisp. The idea is that leaves should not get cooked but just enough heat to dry on its own.
