Heat ghee in a pressure cooker or an Instant Pot. Add bay leaf, cinnamon stick, cloves, cardamoms, cumin seeds. Once the seeds start to splutter, add onion and garlic. Once the onions turn translucent, add chopped spinach and sauté for 2 minutes.
Next add the drained rice and water. Season with salt. Pressure cook for 1 whistle. or for 5 minutes on High pressure. Allow the steam to settle down completely. Gently fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot.
Notes
Substitute spinach with beets, carrot, cabbage, corn, methi, green peas or any combination of these.
If you think, whole spices are a hindrance while eating, substitute with garam masala.
