Time : 15 minutes (Time needed to cook rice is not included)
Serving - 2 to 3 People ideally but I am not responsible if your loved one eats all because he/she might fall in love with it :D
INGREDIENTS :
- Uncooked Rice - 1 Cup
- Raw Spinach/Palak Purée - 2 Cup (Has to be thick like ketchup)
- Gralic minced or crushed - 2 Tsp
- Crushed Pepper - 1/2 TSP (I have used moderate amount considering kids )
- Cashews - 8 to 10 cut in to half or as you like (I did not use them),OPTIONAL
- Salt for Taste
- Oil - 3 Tbsp
- COOKING RICE : It is up to you to decide the texture of rice depending upon who is going to eat (Like kids or elderly person or you are making it for party).How I did is, washed the rice,added 1 Tbsp olive oli,and mixed well.Then I added 2 cups of water and cooked in Rice Cooker.
- Let cooked rice cool down.By that time,we can prepare the Palak Purée.
- Make the raw Palak Purée in blender.It should not be too watery.
- In a shallow pan, add 2 Tbsp of Oil.To that add Garlic,Salt and Purée.Mix it well and close the lid.
- Keep it on medium flame.Let it cook.At the same time water starts evaporating making Purée thick as you see in the picture below.
- To that add Pepper and transfer the rice.Now,keep the flame low.
- Star mixing Rice and Purée gently.It takes little time and patience.Make sure Palak spread evenly everywhere.
- Again close the lid and let it cook for 5 - 10 minutes on low flame.This allows the aroma to blend in rice and make it perfect.
- Serve hot.It tastes nice as it is but you can eat with any gravy or ghee.
- Do not use narrow pan.Use the shallow one so that it will be easier to mix.
- You can change the quantity of Paalak and Pepper according to your taste.
