Spinach Rice | Keerai Sadham

April 16, 2014 By Sangeetha Priya 14 Comments

Spinach Rice : Today’s recipe is simple yet very healthy spinach rice, very kids friendly recipe. When I use spinach to make keerai  masiyal, my little one sometimes hesitate to take it with plain rice. He likes Biryani/Variety Rice much, so long time back I tried this spinach rice especially for him. After that weekly once I make this healthy rice for him and he loves it by saying “Amma Green Rice” :-). Also this is a great lunch box special for school going kids too..


Recipe Source :- Own

Ingredients

Spinach – Half Bunch from one small  bunch
Rice – 1 Cup
Onion – 1 Medium Size
Green Chili – 1 Number (If you feel spicy skip red chili in the dry roast list below)
Chana and Urad Dhal – 1n1/2 Tbsp
Curry Leaves – Few
Oil or Ghee –  1n1/2 Tbsp

To Dry Roast n Powder
Red chili – 1 Number
Pepper Corns – 1tsp
Cumin – 1 n 1/2tsp
Mustard Seeds – 1tsp
Salt – 1/2tsp

Method

  • Dry roast the ingredients given above and powder it fine(Pic 1).
  • Clean, Wash and puree the spinach to nice paste, don’t add water.
  • Also I add thin spinach stems, if you wish u can add so…
  • In a kadai/pan add oil and when it is hot add dal, saute till golden brown.
  • Now add chopped onion, curry leaves, ground powder and pureed spinach(Pic 2).
  • Saute the mixture till raw smell disappears from spinach.
  • In the pressure cooker add Rice, Sautéed stuff, salt(Pic 3) and necessary water, 1:2 for Rice : Water.
  • Allow 3 hisses and if needed you can soak rice for few minutes before start cooking.
  • When pressure goes off, mix well(Pic 4) then serve it hot.
  • Here I served with cauliflower/Gobi manchurian but ghee/yogurt or raita is enough…

Hope you guys are doing good! Here is our Vinayaga Hope you guys are doing good! Here is our Vinayagar Chaturthi Celebration picture. For the festival we made 11 items (yes kids helped a lot). Those were half sweet and half savory kozhukattai varieties and used palm jaggery (Karupatti) as sweetener and also most of them were millet based...For the menu and other details do check the link provided in Insta bio...
