Spinach or Palak is rich in Iron and Vitamins. This bright vibrant color dish is not only more appealing to the eyes but more nourishing as well. It is easy to make and tastes really good.

Ingredients:

2 cup of spinach leaves

1 cup of rice

2 ½ cups of water

2-3 green chilies

2-4 cloves of garlic

1 tsp ginger finely chopped

1 onion finely chopped

2 tbsp oil

Salt to taste

Method:

Wash rice thoroughly and soak for at least 15 min.  

Blanch spinach, drain and put immediately in cold water. This will help to keep the green color of spinach as it is.

In pan heat oil, add onion, spinach paste and sauté for 2 min. then add rice and sauté for another min.

Add boiling water to rice and mix well. Now add salt and cover the lid and cook till rice is soft. Which will take about 8-10 mins.
