How to make Spinach And Rice Indian Style

Bring plenty of water to a boil in a large saucepan and add a generous pinch of salt.
Use only the ten derest leaves and blanch for just under 1 minute then drain; you should aim to have 1 1/4 lb net weight of washed leaves. (The other leaves and stalks can be used for recipes calling for longer cooking and need not be wasted.)
While the spinach is cooling, put the rice in a sieve and hold it under running cold water to rinse until the water runs clear.
Drain.
Squeeze all excess moisture out of the spinach by hand and chop finely.
Peel the onions and chop very finely.
Fry the onions gently in the ghee for 5 minutes, stirring until they are soft and pale golden brown.
Add the spinach and the garam masala and stir fry over moderate heat for 2-3 minutes.
Take off the heat, add the rice with 2 1/4 cups cold water and 1 tsp salt.
Stir, return to a higher heat, and bring to a boil.
Cover, turning the heat down extremely low, and leave to cook for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.
Stir with a fork to help separate the grains.
If serving with hot spiced dishes, you will not need to add more salt as this dish provides a refreshingly bland, cooling contrast.
