Spinach Rice (Palak Pulav)

I try to include as many as possible vegetables in my everyday meal. So today I though of making palak pulav by which I can add many vegetables to it and also this is very healthy.

For making Palak Pulav you will need :-

1 cup of boiled rice

1 cup of palak puree (see below)

1/4 cup chopped onion

1/4 cup chopped tomato

2-3 tablespoon chopped carrot

1/4 cup chopped green bell- pepper

2-3 cloves of garlic chopped

1 bay leaf

1 tablespoon pulav masala

Salt to taste

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

2-3 teaspoon oil

1 green chilly chopped

1 teaspoon ginger chopped

Pinch of turmeric powder

1 teaspoon red chilly powder

Take a pot and add oil to heat and when it gets hot then add cumin seeds and allow to crackle. Add onions to it and saute till it get tender. Add green chillies and garlic to it and saute it for a minute. Add chopped tomatoes and saute it till it gets tender. Add green bell pepper and carrot and allow it to cook. After vegetables get cooked properly add all the spices and salt and mix well and saute it for a minute or so. Add palak puree and allow it to boil a minute or so. Add rice and mix well and cook till all water gets evaporated.

Garnish with corainder leaves and lemon. Serve with yogurt and papad.

Take bunch of palak and then wash it properly and then boil it in water and when it gets cool down remove all water and make a puree of it.
