Spinach Rice is a healthy rice recipe which looks great too. Here is my version.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Wash and soak rice in cold water for about 10 minutes.
- Next, wash spinach and chop the leaves roughly.
- Now heat ghee/oil in a pan. Add chopped onions, green chilli and spinach, salt to taste. Stir for 2 or 3 minutes or until the leaves are wilted. Switch off fire.
- Let it cool, about 5 minutes. Then add the spinach mix into a blender along with 2 cups of water and puree.
- Now drain the soaked rice and place into a rice cooker. Add spinach puree, mix well. Add about 2 cups water and set rice to cook according to instructions.
- Once the rice is cooked, garnish with roasted cashew and fried onions. Serve with raita or plain yogurt.
Notes
Alternate ways of cooking:
