INSTRUCTIONS
Palak Chaval Shorba
To make the spinach chiffonade, stack several spinach leaves and roll them
up lengthwise. Slice across the roll at 1/4 in intervals to make thin
ribbons. You can also use a chiffonade of red or green swiss chard or 2/3
cup frozen baby peas, defrosted, instead of spinach.
(Main tastes should be jalapeno flavor and lemon)
1. Place the ghee or olive oil in a 3 quart/liter saucepan over mod. heat.
When it is hot, drop in the black mustard seeds and fry until they turn
gray, sputter and pop. Stir in the green chili, rice, stock, turmeric and
coriander and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low,
cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
2. Add the spinach and salt and simmer for 4-6 minutes or until dark
green. Stir in the pepper and lemon juice and serve at once in warmed (or
not) bowls. Garnish with lemon slices.
