Peas Palak rice..

Hello friends! My today's recipe is again very easy and simple,yet delicious version.of palak rice with peas.. Unusual combo perhaps, but when I made it, it was wonderful and yummy and yet so simple. Hmm let me not keep you waiting and show you how I made this.

Ingredients:

• 250gms  rice
• 1 bunch spinach chopped
• 1 cup boiled peas
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 1 green chilli chopped
• juice of one lemon
• 1tbsp oil
• 1 onion chopped
• salt to taste

Method:

Boil rice with salt and keep it aside. In a pan heat oil, add jeera and let it crackle for a min. Add onion and saute till they are translucent. Add green chilli and chopped spinach and stir it lightly. It should remain bit crispy. Add peas and little salt as the rice already has salt.  Mix well. Add lemon juice and mix again lightly. Finally add boiled rice and mix  slowly and lightly. Take care not to mash the rice or break it. Peas palak rice is ready to serve with raita. 

For us, it turned into new dish and I have kept masalas to bare minimum but you can adjust the spice level if you wish. For cranky eaters this turns out to be real delight.

Hope you enjoyed this dish and over to you for your lovely comments.

Hello everyone! How have you all been? My today’s recipe Is again a simple yet delicious and healthy roti. Everyone knows the benefits of  greens in our diet, so I won’t start the lecture on it again and I think time for  everyone to be popeye the sailor man again. Ha ha ha… 

Lets begin our spinach roti.

Ingredients: 

1cup chopped greens(  I have used spinach leaves, methi leaves, dill leaves and along with it one more green called khatta)

2green chillies

¼ inch ginger

¼ tsp each of coriander powder, amchur(drymango) powder, red chilli powder, turmeric powder

Salt to taste

Some coriander leaves

2tbsp ghee

Water as needed

Wheat flour for rotis

Method:

Chop all the greens and keep in one cup, chop ginger and green chillies into small pieces. In a bowl, put wheat flour and all greens. Mix it nicely without water, add  salt and other dry masalas including chillies, ginger and green chillies, add ghee also, mix properly and add water slowly to make a nice tight dough. 

Make atta like this.

Heat tawa.  Make balls from wheat flour a size bigger than lemons, roll it and cook it on tawa on both sides till its done, if needed  brush a little oil or ghee for it to cook properly,  keep the flame on medium heat.

Take out on plate and serve it hot with chutneys, tomato sauce or even dahi, you can have it as it is also.

In my home I make this for breakfast but at times when I am not in mood for elaborate dinner I make this as light dinner.  I have used ghee and oil a lot. You can skip the part of extra ghee or oil when you cook.

Hope you like this green, green roti with all leafy vegetables. Let me know what you think.
