Spinach Rice

I am very fussy when it comes to food.My Mom always says that its too difficult to please me:-D Am lucky to marry someone who is just the opposite to me. My Husband doesn?t mind anything I cook,so I don?t bother asking him what he likes to have,what to make etc. I had some green Onions at home and the first thing that came to my mind was ?Fried Rice?.Since I had frozen Spinach also,I wanted to come up with something new. I tried making ?Spinach Rice? and it turned out well. This is also a healthy dish,coz Spinach is rich in Iron &Calcium

Ingredients:-

Frozen Spinach ? 1 cup
Onions ? 1 small(chopped)
Ginger Garlic Paste ? 1tsp
Green Chillies ? 4-5 (crushed)
Oil ? 1 tbsp
Soy Sauce ? 1 tbsp
Green Onions ? 1/2 cup chopped
Basmati Rice ? 2 cups(cooked)
Salt ? As per taste

1.Cook the Frozen Spinach as per the insturctions mentioned in the packet. Squeeze excess water and set aside.
2.Heat Oil in a wok,add ginger garlic paste,Green chillies &Onions one after the other
3.When the Onions turn translucent add the Soy Sauce and Stir for a min or two.
4.Drop the chopped green Onions and spinach.
4.Allow it to cook for about 5mins and add rice. Add salt and mix well.

Serve Hot!

I always grind Green Chillies in abundance and refrigerate it,its easy to use it as &when required. I believe adding salt to it helps to keep it for longer.
