Palak Matar Pulao

A spicy rice dish which all in my family enjoy and hoping that you people enjoy it too. When the spinach in the market is so tempting and fresh you must try this one!! here comes my recipe.

Ingredients

2 cups of long grain basmati or any rice of your choice

200 gms of fresh green peas

A small bunch of spinach, 3 green chillies, blanched and pureed

2 onions finely chopped

2 tspns of roughly pound ginger garlic

Juice of half a lime

Salt to taste

A pinch of turmeric powder

Coriander leaves for garnishing

Method

In a pressure cooker take some oil, add the onions, saute till golden, add turmeric powder, ginger garlic paste, saute till raw smell disappears. now add the spinach puree, a handful of chopped coriander, saute till cooked well, add the peas, the washed rice, salt and lime juice. Mix well, add 4 cups of water, this rice need not be too dry, in the sense that it tastes good when it retains moisture. Mix and cook it to 2 whistles. Tranfer to a serving bowl, garnish with coriander leaves and serve. No accompaniment is needed with this dish! A bowl of yogurt will suffice.
