Cabbage Spinach Rice

Once I was thinking about what to cook for lunch box and I was having very less cabbage at home and some spinach. Thought to make rice out of it and started cooking cabbage rice. It turned out so well that my husband’s colleagues appreciate it a lot. Even I like it so much that I had 2 servings of it. Usually I eat very less rice but that day had a lot.

Ingredients:
2 cups Basmati rice
2 cups chopped cabbage long length
1 cup chopped spinach
3green chilies finely chopped
1 garlic Pod finely chopped
1 medium sized onion long length chopped
1tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
4 Black peppercorns
3 cloves
2 inches cinnamon
½ tsp turmeric (haldi)
1tsp sambar masala
3tsp oil
1 tsp ghee
4 cups water
Salt to taste

Preparation:
Wash Basmati rice 3 times and keep it aside for 10 minutes. Now take one kadhai and add oil followed by cumin, black pepper, cinnamon, cloves, chilies, onions and haldi. Stir it for 2 minutes and add cabbage, Spinach with pinch of salt and cook it for 3-4 minutes. Then add basmati rice into it and mix well and roast for 2-3 minutes. Add sambar masala, salt and water. Keep it for cooking on medium heat. Once it’s cooked add 1 tsp of ghee and mix well. Ghee gives best aroma and taste to cabbage, spinach rice.
