This one-dish meal is a delight for the diner! Herby rice with the prominent flavour of coriander is coated with a creamy spinach sauce and a peppy tomato gravy. Together the two saucy layers give the rice dish a luscious mouth-feel and an unforgettable flavour. A topping of cheese adds to the flavour as well as texture of this dish, making it a truly exciting bowlful to place on the table for lunch or dinner. We have cooked the assembled Herb Rice with Spinach and Tomato Gravy in the microwave oven instead of baking it, so the procedure gets much faster. Serve it immediately.
