Spinach and beans rice

I love one pot meals! Nothing beats the convenience of having a nutritious easy meal ready while you are rushing through your morning routine with a jumping/screaming/crying/clinging toddler. :)
A simple rice and beans dish with tons of spinach, minimally spiced and yet super flavorful -- served with a sprinkling of grated cheese is what we had for lunch today. The black beans add protein and flavor, chopped spinach adds flavor and nutrition. All this with the basic simple flavoring of ginger+garlic+green chillies which can never go wrong. I made this dish(rather it turned out :P ) a little porridgy - not your pilaf kinda rice with separate grains. It tasted awesome with some molten cheese on top.
Cooked it all in a pressure cooker and the dish came together in about 30 mins -- including the cooking time and time to release pressure(when you don't need to be around!)

What you need:
1/2 cup black beans - soak them overnight.

1 + 1/4 th cup rice

1/2 large red onion finely chopped

1 tomato finely chopped

3 cups chopped spinach

1 tsp jeera / cumin seeds

1 tbsp oil

salt to taste

2 tsp paste of ginger garlic and green chilies - I had this paste ready and used it.you could substitute it with finely chopped garlic ginger and green chillies per your taste.
Grated cheese to serve

Method:

1) Heat oil in a pressure cooker. Add jeera and wait for it to crackle.

2) Add the ginger garlic green chillies and saute it for 30 seconds. Add the finely chopped onion. Fry for a couple of minutes till its golden. Add the tomatoes and salt.

3) Add the soaked beans,washed rice. Add about 4-5 cups water. 

4) Pressure cook for 2 -3 whistles.

5) Serve hot with grated cheese. Mix the cheese with the hot meal and let it melt into gooey goodness. :D
