Ingredients: பாலக் இலை/Palak leaves-1/2 kg பாசுமதி அரிசி/ Basmati rice-1 1/2 cups பன்னீர்/paneer- 125 grams வெங்காயம்/Onion - 2 முந்திரிப்பருப்பு/ Cashews -10 பச்சை மிளகாய்/ green chilli-5 இஞ்சி/ ginger - small peace (cut) 1 tsp பூண்டு/garlic - 10 எண்ணை/ oil - as per requirement சீரகப்பொடி/ cumin powder-1/2 tsp மஞ்சள்பொடி/turmeric powder-1/2 tsp மிளகாய்பொடி/ chilli powder- 1/2 tsp பட்டை/ cinnamon- small piece கிராம்பு/ cloves -3 பிரிஞ்சிஇலை/ brinji leaves -2 Method: Wash basmati rice and soak in water for 25 minutes.Soak cashews in water for 20 to 25 minutes. Grind cashews to a paste and keep aside. Grind Palak leaves and garlic to a fine paste and keep aside. Heat oil in Kadhai or pan. Add cinnamon,cloves ,and brinji leaves. After 2 minutes add onions, green chili’s,turmeric powder,chilli powder,cumin powder and sauté till onion becomes soft. Add 2 1/2 cups of water, and add rice , and paneer to that when water boils. Add cashews paste, Palak paste and salt.Mix nicely all ingredients and cover with a lid in medium flame for the rice to cook. After 4 to 5 minutes keep in a low flame and cook. In between open the lid and mix it again. After 10 minutes our Palak rice will be ready. Serve in a bowl with roasted cashews on top. U can prepare raita with onion and tomato as a best combination.Potato chip and raita are the best combination to Palak rice. Tips: Normally we keep water for basmati rice in 1:2 ratio. As we have made paste with cashew and Palak with atleast 1/2 a cup of water,we need only 2 1/2 cups do the rice to boil. While adding water one should be very careful otherwise rice will become squishy. Those who don’t like the smell of bay leaves and garlic they can skip that. While boiling the rice u have to keep the gas in medium flame for first 5 minutes and then in a low flame. Frequently u have to mix the rice in between.U can use pressure cooker also to cook the rice, but in that also the heat should be regulated and keep it for 1 or 2 whistles. “Connect with me” Leave your comments on this video and will get response OR you can connect with me on different social platforms too.
