Instructions

Add the olive oil to a saucepot and cook some garlic in it over low heat, just until fragrant. This takes about 2 to 3 minutes.
Next, add in the yogurt and turn the heat to high.
In a pourable container on the side, whisk together the water and corn starch until combined.
Pour the water and cornstarch mixture into the pan with the yogurt over high heat and slowly pour it in while continuing to whisk.
Once the mixture begins to boil and become thick, turn the heat down to low and whisk in cooked short-grain rice, salt, and chopped fresh mint.
Serve the sauce hot or cool and serve chilled.
