Spinach Pulao

Instructions

1. Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak it in water for 20-30 minutes, then drain.
2. In a pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
3. Add sliced onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
4. Add grated ginger and slit green chili, and sauté for another minute.
5. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted.
6. Add the soaked rice and salt, and mix gently.
7. Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed.
8. Turn off the heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
