Palak Paneer Rice

Since we are south Indians, my kids diet is mostly rice based. I try & make variety of rice dishes for him. Rice mixed with veggies, pulses is a wholesome meal for kids. I coarsely grind the rice dishes i make, so that its easier to feed him & also easy for him to eat. He too loves it a lill soft & mashed. I make spinach at least 3 to 4 servings in a week in his menu. I try to mix spinach with different vegetables or sometime pulses like lentils. I made Spinach & Cottage cheese rice (Paneer) combo which is quite popular in north Indian Cuisines. Its very easy to make, tasty & healthy dish.  Since my boy loves non veg especially chicken. I serve chicken almost every other day or eggs, fish mutton along with the rice dish 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of chopped spinach
• 6 small cubes of Paneer (cottage cheese) soak this in hot water & crumble it with hands
