Instructions
For healthy white sauce
- In a pan warm the butter and add chopped garlic, saute for about 15seconds and add flour. Saute only till you get a nice aroma.
- Add milk and stir, Lumps may form since we are using very little butter.
- Blend the mixture in a mixer to get a smooth paste.
- Transfer this mixture in a pan and cook with constant stirring till you get a thin film at the back of the ladle.
- Add salt and pepper and remove it from flame.
Green spinach mixture
- Blanch the spinach leaves in boiling water for two minutes. Remove and add in cold water, drain and chop the spinach.
- In a pan saute garlic a bit. Since we are not using any butter so keep the flame very low and saute for a minute.
- Add spinach and stir for 15 seconds. Remove from flame and add malai /cream, stir in salt and pepper. If you want it spicy add some chopped green chilies.
For red mixture
- In a pan saute the garlic for a minute. Since we are not using any butter keep the flame low.
- Add chopped carrots, cook for a minute and add chopped tomatoes.Cook till tomatoes get mushy.
- Add salt, red chilly Italian spice mix, and tomato sauce.
Rice
- Soak the rice for 20 minutes.
- Boil it with water and salt.
- When soft drain the water.Since we drain the water, excess starch gets removed thereby reducing the carbohydrate content also.
Assembling
- Take a rectangular glass dish and spread one-third rice in it.Now spread one-third of the white sauce on it evenly.
- Spread the green spinach mixture on the layer of rice evenly.
- Again spread the next batch of rice on it, followed by white sauce similar to the first step.
- Now spread the red mixture on it evenly.
- Spread the remaining rice followed by the remaining white sauce.
- Grate some cheese on top. This is optional.Toss the mushrooms with a pinch of salt and garnish.Sprinkle some Italian spice mix.
- Bake it for 10 to 15 minutes at 180 degrees celsius.
