▶️ SPINACH VEGETABLE RICE RECIPE INGREDIENTS: (3 servings approx.)
Spinach Puree: (This makes total 1+3/4 cup of puree)
125g / 4 cups Spinach leaves
25g / 1/2 cup Cilantro / Coriander leaves and stems
1 cup / 250ml Water
Other Ingredients:
1 cup / 200g White Basmati Rice (thoroughly rinse & soaked for 30 minutes)
3 Tablespoon Cooking Oil
200g / 1+1/2 cup Onions - chopped
2+1/2 Tablespoon / 30g Garlic - finely chopped
1 Tablespoon / 10g Ginger - finely chopped
1/2 Teaspoon Turmeric
1/4 to 1/2 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper or to taste
1/2 Teaspoon Garam Masala
150g / 1 Cup Carrot - chopped into 1/4 X 1/4 inch small cubes
100g / 3/4 Cup Green Beans - chopped 1/2 inch
70g / 1/2 Cup Frozen Corn
70g / 1/2 Cup Frozen Green Peas
200g / 1 Cup Ripe Tomatoes - chopped small
Salt to taste (I have added total 1+1/2 Teaspoon of pink Himalayan Salt)
1/3 cup / 80ml Water (👉 Water quantity may vary depending on the quality of rice & vegetables)
Lemon Juice to taste (I have added 1 tablespoon lemon juice I like it a bit sour BUT YOU DO YOU)
1/2 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper or to taste
Drizzle of Olive Oil (I added 1 teaspoon of organic cold pressed Olive Oil)
▶️ METHOD:
Wash the basmati rice a few times until the water runs clear to get rid of any impurities. This will give a much better/clean taste to the rice. Then soak for 30 minutes. Once soaked drain the rice and leave it to sit in the strainer to drain any excess water, until ready to use.
Blend cilantro/coriander, spinach leaves, water into a puree. Set aside for later.
✅ 👉 USE A WIDE PAN TO COOK THIS DISH
To a heated pan, add cooking oil, onions, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and fry on medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes or until THE ONIONS ARE GOLDEN BROWN. Adding salt to the onion will release it's moisture and help it cook faster, so please don’t skip it. Add the chopped garlic, ginger and fry on medium to medium-low heat for about 2 minutes. Add the turmeric, cayenne pepper, garam masala and fry for a few seconds. Add the chopped green beans, carrots and fry on medium heat for about 2 to 3 minutes. Then add the frozen corn, green peas, tomatoes and salt to taste. Fry on medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes or until the tomatoes soften and disintegrates. Add the soaked/strained basmati rice, spinach puree, 1/2 cup water and bring to a vigorous boil. Once it starts to boil, then cover the lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook on low heat for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked. The cooking time may vary depending on the quality of the rice.
Once the rice is cooked, uncover the pan. Turn off the heat. Add the lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and mix it VERY GENTLY to prevent the the rice grains from breaking. DO NOT OVER MIX THE RICE OTHERWISE IT WILL TURN MUSHY. Cover the lid and allow it to rest for 5 minutes on the stove - before serving.
Serve hot with your favourite side of protein. This makes 3 SERVINGS.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
👉 Thoroughly wash the rice until water runs clear, this will get rid of any impurities and will give a much better/clean taste
✅ 👉 USE A WIDE PAN TO COOK THIS DISH. This will cook the rice evenly and prevent it from getting mushy
👉 Adding 1/4 teaspoon salt to onion will release it's moisture and will help it cooks faster, so please don’t skip this step
👉 THE WATER QUANTITY DEPENDS ON THE QUALITY OF THE RICE SO ADJUST ACCORDINGLY
👉 After adding the garnishes - mix very gently to prevent the rice grains from breaking because the rice grains are very soft and can turn into mush
