Required Ingredients:


For Cooked Rice:

1 cup rice
3 cups water

For Spinach Curry:

2 cups of chopped spinach (Can use baby spinach leaves)
1 tsp Cumin seeds
4 red chillies
A pinch of asafoetida
1 tbsp of unsalted butter (Can use even oil)

For the cooked rice,

• Cook 1 cup of rice in three cups of water. Rice triples in its volume when cooked.
• Make sure that the cooked rice are separated and not mushy and lumpy.
• Set the rice aside.
• You can cook the rice as the spinach curry is being cooked to save time.

For the Spinach Curry,

• For the seasoning of Spinach Curry, heat a deep pan and add the butter (or oil) to the pan.
• Once the butter (or oil)has been heated enough add the cumin seeds.
• As the cumin seeds crackle,add a pinch of asafoetida and add the red chillies.

{A small tip :Usually red chillies are added while cooking greens for the fact that, people who do not want to eat chillies can easily separate red chillies from the green curry as opposed to finding Green Chillies in Greens!}

• Add the chopped spinach to the seasoning and mix all the ingredients well.
• Add salt according to taste and mix well.
• The spinach will wilt and reduce in quantity.
• Cook for 10 minutes on medium flame.
• The spinach curry is done.

Spinach rice can be enjoyed best alone. There is no side-dish required. Raita can be used as an accompaniment if needed.
