  • * 150g Basmati Rice, White
  • * 20g Flaked Almonds (optional)

Directions
  1. Rinse spinach and boil in a small amount of water for 8 minutes (don't want it to go to dark as will loose the flavor and goodness). Drain well, chop roughly and leave to one side.
  2. Bring a large pan of lightly salted water to the boil, add rice, cover and simmer briskly for 8 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, stir fry onion, garlic and chilli in the oil over a moderate heat for about 4 minutes (or until onion is starting to turn golden). Stir in carrot and continue to stir fry for one minute. Add turmeric and ginger and stir fry for a further minute. Remove from heat.
  4. Strain rice in a colander and rinse with boiling water. Transfer rice to an oven-proof dish (with a lid), stir in vegetable and spice mixture until evenly distributed, stir in spinach
  5. Put lid on dish and cook in the oven for 10 minutes, Stir in flaked almonds just before serving.
