The ingredients are:

  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries or 1/3 cup raisins

  • 2.5 cups cooked Basmati rice (I often use plain brown rice instead)

We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Heat the ghee/oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add the two spices and cook, while stirring, for about 1 minute. Now, add the onion, serrano pepper, almonds and dried cranberries. Stir-fry over high heat for 5 minutes, or until the almonds turn golden and the onions are cooked through.

  • Step 2: Add the garlic and rice to the wok. Stir-fry for a further 5 minutes, or until the rice is heated through.

  • Step 3: Ad the spinach and 1 tablespoons soy sauce. Stir-fry until spinach is wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Taste test; add another tablespoon of soy sauce, if needed.

  • Step 4: Remove from heat and stir in green onions. Transfer to serving plate and top with cilantro, if desired.
