  6. Once the chillies darken in colour and mustard starts sputtering, remove from fire and keep aside.
  7. In the same pan, add the cleaned mint leaves and saute on low fire for some 10 mins.
  8. They will slowly start getting dark green or light brown in colour. Remove from fire and let it cool.
