I Installed Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS selecting the minimal install option. But I wanted a full install. I read that minimal install removes around 80 packages. Is there any way in which I can install just these things again without a full install again?

It is possible to install additional software. Are you asking which packages were omitted, or how to install packages that you already know you want? – Organic Marble Mar 03 '19 at 19:15

@OrganicMarble Yes, I want to know which packages were omitted and also how to install them? Can I install all of them at once? – bhatnaushad Mar 03 '19 at 19:31

1I think if you install ubuntu-desktop you will get all that was left. – Jean-Marie Mar 03 '19 at 20:09

A list of the packages omitted when doing a minimal install can be found here: https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/seeds/ubuntu.bionic/desktop.minimal-remove
You may not want all this stuff - you can pick and choose.
You can open a terminal and use the command sudo apt install XXXX where XXXX is the package name.
It is possible to supply a long list of packages to install at once - separate them by spaces.
