Creamy Moutabel also called Mutabal is part of the Middle East Cuisine is made from Roasted Eggplant. A delicious way to add in your family’s diet aubergine a very healthy but much-disliked vegetable. Serve it as a part of Mezze Platter or for the Tailgating you host next?
A simple combination of palak or spinach and rice but so yum.
The original rice is flavoured with dill but since we do not like dill I left it out (and was happy).
Greek Spinach Rice (Spanakorizo)
I have served it calling it Palak Pulao and this is the first time no second time I have used lime in a Pulao. The first being here. I have made Palak Pulao in the past so it was like okay a new madcap scheme.
The use of lime in rice is not new to me we used it often in Phodnicha Bhaat or Chitra Anna but in Pulaos I rarely use lime and fall back on my favourite tomato to give the pulao a tang. Using lemon is a lot simpler and tasty too.
You can add feta cheese on top or even egg but I have not done any of it.
The main ingredients here are palak/spinach, rice, garlic, olive oil, In case you are using then Dill.
The other pulao recipes that I have tried in the past areMattar pulao, Vegetarian Parda Pulao, Tawa pulao, Palak Pulao to name a few. You can check all the rice recipes here.
This pulao is adapted from here.

Such a simple yet delicious rice with spinach. I think the dill is an acquired taste and I used to hate it when mom made any dish out of it..
