Bean & Spinach Rice

This is my second entry for this event. Couple of days back i was browsing across as usual when i found an interesting and easy recipe. I would say that it is a version of the many bean dishes that are widely used in Turkey and Greece. I have altered it to suit our palate.


Ingredients

Black Urad Dal - 1/2 cup soaked overnight and boiled
Spinach - 1 big bunch washed well & finely chopped
Garlic - 6 pods finely chopped
Green Chillies - 6 finely chopped
Olive Oil
Salt to taste
Rice - 2 cup


Method

In a pan heat the oil and add the chopped garlic and green chillies to it. Saute till the flavour of the garlic and chillies are released. Add the spinach and saute for a few minutes. Then add the black dal and saute. Add salt to taste. Keep on simmer till done. Add rice mix it well. Serve Hot.

Note: The taste is best when it is hot
