Ingredients
- Spinach (palak cheera) - 1 bunch
- Green Chillies - 3-4 nos.
- Grated ginger - 1 teaspoon
- Garlic cloves - 3-4 nos.
- Basmati rice - 3-4 cups
- Onion (savala) - 1 (chopped length wise)
- Cashew nut - a few
- Kismis - a few
- Salt
- Water
- Garam masala - 1 teaspoon
Preparation Method
Chop the spinach finely and cook it in a vessel for a minute. Don't add water. Now keep this aside to cool.Grind this with green chillies, ginger and garlic into a fine paste.
Now, take a pressure cooker. Heat some oil and add chopped onions into this. Once it is golden brown, add garam masala. Now add cashew and kismis and fry them until golden brown.
To this, add the spinach paste and sauté until the water content from the spinach disappears. Now add basmati rice and fry it for 2 minutes. Add water and salt and pressure cook it on a medium flame until the first whistle blows.
Please note that the water you take should be exactly one glass minus the double of the rice you used. For example, if the rice you took is 3 cups, then the water that should be used to cook it should be 3+3-1=5 glasses.
Also, when you add salt, remember that the spinach is also going to suck up some salt. So add it diligently.
