I love to cook different varieties of veggie foods.. I tried a recipe recently .. i am posting it and would like to see the comments after you try it,,,
Spinach Rice
Ingredients:
Spinach - half a bag of spinaach, ginger-1"piece, green chillies -3 or more according to your taste, rice- 1 glass , soaked in water for 20 mins before cooking,raw garam masala like tej patta, elaichi-1,cinnamon stick-1 ",onion-1 big sliced lengthwise, garlic-2 pods finely chopped , cabbage - cut into thin strips( one small bowl full)( this is optional), pinenuts- 1 handfull( this is also optional) only add if you like the crunch of the nuts in the rice)
method:
Take the spinach in a vessel , cook it with lil water, green chillies and salt,, then once it is cooked(approximately till the spinach is wilted)for 8 mins,, then put this spinach mix in the blender and make into a paste,, cook the rice till done and seperate(like for fried rice), then cool it when it is cooked in a big vessel,,, In a Tava you can add lil butter, then add all the garam masala's , then you can add the onions, garlic, till they are transparent, then add the cabbage and add salt, and then keep it aside, now add the spinach paste to the cooked cabbage tava and mix well, then slowly incorporate the rice without smashing it, adjust the seasoning (check for salt ), then add the roasted pinenuts(which has to be roasted separately with lil oil)in the last for a crunch..
Voila! Spinach rice is ready ..
this can be served with onion raita, or papad,, or steamed beans ..
I tried another dessert recipe using peaches,
Peaches- 1 for each person, slice it and core the pits,
Brownsugar-1 cup,
butter-1 tbsp,
apple juice or mango juice- 1 cup
Take a pan,measure one cup of the apple juice in it, then add one cup packed brownsugar, then add butter, whisk it well and heat all this till the browsugar and the butter melts,,, once it is warm, take a baking dish, then add the sliced peaches and this liquid into the dish and baked at preheated oven at 425 degrees for 25 mins,,, till peaches are fork tender,, serve it warm with vanilla icecream , and a cherry on top,, and if you have hazelnuts, toast them, then crush it with rolling pin and add on top of the icecream,,, fantastic dessert is ready..
i would like to hear more about this if there is any other suggestions
