Iron rich spinach leaves, rice and fiber rich sweet corn are put together along with some simple spices and herbs to make this Indian style simple, tasty, yummy rice

Somehow I always put boiled sweet corn (I do steam cook the sweet corns) while making this rice dish which makes it further still more quick recipe

Ingredients : measuring cup used – 200 ml

  • Steam cooked sweet corn – 1 cup
  • Rice – 1 cup
  • Ghee/butter – 1 tbsp
  • Cumin seeds – 1/2 tbsp
  • Sesame seeds – 1/2 tbsp
  • Curry leaves – 2 sprigs
  • Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp
  • Black pepper powder – a fat pinch
  • Rock salt – 1 tbsp
  • Sugar – 1 tsp
  • Boiled water – 2&1/3 cup

To grind together :

  • Spinach/Palak leaves – 3 cups (roughly chopped)
  • Green chilies – 4 to 6
  • Coriander leaves (loosely packed) – 1/2 cup
  • Sugar – 1/2 tsp

PROCEDURE :

  • Rinse and wash well the rice, drain all the water and set aside
  • Grind together all the ingredients listed below the heading ‘to grind together’ without adding water and set aside
  • Heat butter/ghee (I put butter) in a pressure cooker, put cumin seeds, sesame seeds, curry leaves, turmeric powder and pepper powder, let them crackle
  • Now put boiled sweet corn and stir well, then put ground palak paste, stir well again
  • Now put boiled water, sugar, salt and rice
  • Stir and allow it to come to boil again, now close the lid and cook until done. One whistle is enough in my pressure cooker but you can do according to your requirement
  • Colourful, yummy corn palak rice is ready. this can be consumed as such or along with any kind of raita or mosaru bajji
