Spinach rice is one of my kids favorite dish. I often pack palak rice for their tiffin box or lunch box and they love to eat at at school. I often make boondi raita which goes very well with palak pulao.It is very easy to make this one pot spinach rice ( palak pulao). This palak rice is so yummy that you can also pack it for outings and picnic. Spinach rice can be made with any variety of rice but I suggest using basmati rice for best results.

While making palak rice make sure you do not put lot of water. Since rice is presoaked and spinach puree also has water. Spinach rice does not require lots of water while cooking. Here I have used only 2 cups of water for 1 1/2 cup of rice.You can also use carrots, soya chunks, beads along with potatoes in making spinach rice. And if you are looking for more quick and easy one pot rice recipes you may like egg biryani, double egg fried rice, veg pulao, veg biryani, schezwan rice.
