Spinach corn rice is a healthy variation of rice. This is a quick recipe with few ingredients. This dish is mildly flavoured and one can enjoy the taste of spinach and corn without any overpowering flavours.
Regular cooking rice like sona masuri, surti kolam or any other variety can be used. I have used basmati rice in this recipe. Pre-boiled or steamed corn kernels are used in this recipe. I prefer steaming the corn than boiling them.
It is very essential for this dish to look good and be attractive enough to convince the hesitant eaters who may resist from the spinach and rice combination. Be very gentle while mixing the rice with the veggies. In short, the sight of this dish should be welcoming! Once you taste this rice dish you will surely get hooked on to it.
Recipe for Spinach corn rice
Ingredients for Spinach corn rice
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 2 cups spinach (finely chopped)

How to make
Heat the oil and butter in a nonstick pan. Add the garlic and onion. Saute for one minute or until onions become translucent.
Add corn and spinach together. Saute for one minute.
Once the spinach wilts, add rice and mix well with a light hand such that the rice grains do not break.
Add salt and pepper to taste and mix again.
Serve hot with your favourite raita or salad. I have teamed it up with carrot and pomegranate raita.
