I love a good side dish of rice, and what better than this Quick and Easy Spinach Rice (Palak Rice)? An authentically Indian recipe, this spinach rice is the perfect combination of crunchy, spicy and flavorsome.
It’s just the perfect accompaniment to any curry you may choose to make. It’s that good, and so filling, that some people even choose to eat Palak Rice on its own. Loved by adults and children alike, this North Indian recipe is healthy, delicious and so easy to make!
To make Quick and Easy Spinach Rice (Palak Rice), you will need the following ingredients:
In a skillet, over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the cumin seeds and cook and stir for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the onion, carrot and green chili peppers. Cook for about 5 minutes, until slightly tender.
Add the ginger-garlic powder and cook for about 5 minutes.
In a blender, pulse the spinach leaves, until a paste forms. Add the spinach to the onion mixture. Cook and stir for about 2-3 minutes, until all the water has evaporated from the spinach.
Combine the uncooked rice, coriander powder and salt into the spinach mixture, until evenly combined.
Transfer the rice mixture to a rice cooker and add water. Cook the spinach rice in the rice cooker for about 20 minutes, or according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Serve hot!
