Spinach Corn Rice

                                                                       

The days when my kids used to be crazy after  2 minute noodles is long gone.  Now they want ten minute recipes! As both of them are young professionals they like simple recipes that take minimum time and effort in the kitchen  and yet are delicious and enjoyable.

This spinach and corn rice is a no brainer but is quite a yummy mouthful. If you have cooked rice in the fridge it takes barely few minutes to assemble this dish. You can take as long as you like to eat it though. Linger over each bite and savour!!

Ingredients: 

2 to 3 cups cooked basmati rice
1 cup spinach, chopped
1 cup corn, tinned, whole kernel
1 tsp ginger garlic paste
1 tsp green chilli chopped ( optional)
Salt to taste
1/4 tsp black pepper powder
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp oil

Method:     In a heavy bottom pan pour oil and add cumin seeds. When it starts to change colour add chopped green chilly and ginger garlic paste. Stir for few seconds.  Add the chopped spinach.  Saute till spinach wilts and all the water dries up. Add corn, salt , pepper and lemon juice. Add the cooked rice and mix well. Cover and let it cook on very low flame for few minutes. Serve hot.
