Spinach Rice ~Blog Hop Wednesday 2nd November.


This is my 6th entry for Blog Hop Wednesday started by Radhika of Tickling Palates. Its a beautiful concept where not only do you get to make new  blogger friends, cook from their blogs but in return they visit your blog and try out your recipes too.


This weeks challenge I have been assigned Ayeesha's blog Taste of Pearl City, when I checked out her blog to select a recipe, I was amazed at the content but more so with the fantastic photos of all her dishes.I wanted to savour each and dish. Having indulged in lots of rich food over the festival period , I choose to make this simple spinach rice dish. The only changes I made was to replace the carrots with the peas. It turned out delicious.


Fragrant basmati rice cooked with tender sweet peas and spinach.

Ingredients:

8oz  Cold cooked Rice
4oz fresh baby Spinach finely chopped
2 oz boiled peas
1 teaspoon finely chopped chilies
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
5-6 curry leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 tablespoon olive oil

Method:

1. Heat oil in a pan when it is hot add the mustard seeds, curry leaves, cumin and green chilli.
2. Add the chopped spinach and saute for 1 minute, then add the boiled peas, turmeric powder and salt.Cook until the spinach has wilted , this should only take a few minutes
3. Add the boiled rice to the cooked spinach mixture and stir fry gently.

Transfer to a serving dish .
Serve with Pickle and yoghurt raita.
