Palak Rice (Spinach Rice)
I have getting a lot of requests to posts easy recipes as the world is in lock-down and it is not easy to get the uncommon ingredients I use in many of my dishes. So I decided to post a recipe of a dish I used to eat a lot during my earlier career days, I was living a bachelor in the city of Pune India and there used to be a Udipi cuisine restaurant Prasanna nearby. I used to order To Go’s sometimes from there and this dish used to be my favorite togo – Palak Rice. Since its loaded with Spinach, you get the Greens your body need and the Carb from the rice which we all need in our younger days. This also cooks fast and is a very easy one to make, it tastes really good and should be tried by you all during this quarantine time.
