Easy, cheesy spinach and corn rice casserole is perfect for a warm comforting meal. A baked spin on regular palak rice. Can also be quickly made with leftovers.
Heat oil in a pan. Add chillies and garlic. Sauté till the garlic just starts to turn brown. Add onions and cook for 5-6 minutes till the onions are soft.
Add the steamed corn kernels, spinach, salt, cumin powder and garam masala powder. Mix well and sauté till the spinach has wilted. Remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, mix together the cooked rice with cheese and milk.
In the baking dish, layer the rice and spinach and corn mixture alternatively. Top with sliced tomatoes and bake for 20-30 mins.
Serve hot!
Notes
If making for a party, you can keep the casserole ready ahead of time and put it in the oven only 30 minuted before serving dinner.
