Tomato Spinach Pulao step by step

1. First up, wash the rice, and cook in a pot of water or a pressure cooker or an electric rice cooker. I went with the rice cooker. My measurement was 3 cups of rice to 6 cups of water.
2. Heat the oil in a pan, and saute the onions along with the garlic and ginger pastes. Once the onions have softened, add the chopped tomatoes and continue to cook till the tomatoes have mushed up a bit.
3. Next add the seasoning: the cumin seeds, coriander and chilly powder. Also add the tomato paste. Give it all a good mix and allow it to cook for 2-3mins.
4. Add the spinach and the carrot. Put a lid on the pan, and allow it to cook for about 10mins or until the veggies have cooked through and is soft.
5. Season with salt, and slowly add the cooked rice. Gently fold the rice in to the veggie mixture. Transfer to a serving bowl, and garnish with roasted nuts or some freshly chopped coriander leaves.
6. I served this rice with a meat side dish and some raita.
