This made a nice change from just plain rice. Used brown rice, fresh spinach, ground cinnamon and doubled the turmeric powder. I was a bit concerned it would taste "too eastern" and not match the rest of my menu last night (cabbage salad, creamed chicken and mushrooms), but it did great. Thanks rosewater! This is a keeper! -
Very attractive and flavorful! I made certain to remove the cinnamon and cloves before I added the spinach and corn, but left in the peppercorns. I will make this dish again and again. -
Very easy and tasty as you have rightly pointed. I have made corn rice and spinach rice but this combo is terrific. I used the green cardamom and some black pepper corns too. Served it with HeatherFeather's recipe for Ugly naked Chicken. Perfect cover.;) Thanks for posting. - Fay
