Palak Rice Recipe

 

Palak rice aka spinach rice is a quick and easy, healthy meal for lunch or for dinner. I used cold and refrigerated rice as its a good source of resistant starch. Resistant starch not only helps in good gut health but also helps in weight loss, diabetics and much more. Do try to watch my previous videos on the health benefits of resistant starch.

I used thooyamalli rice in this recipe which is a traditional rice variety which has the most b vitamins however, you can use any variety of rice which you have at hand in this recipe. To enhance the nutrients of the spinach I am also using lemon juice, try not to skip it.

Ingredients:

1 cup roughly chopped spinach

1/8 cup water

1 tbsp ground nut oil (wood pressed)

1/2 tsp saunf
