Spinach And Soyachunks Pulao

Spinach and Soya chunks pulao This is my first recipe for this weeks BM under the theme of Cooking with greens. In this theme i have to post one rice recipe, one gravy and one Indian bread recipe so in this list first I am going to post a recipe rice with greens.
                                                    I like this combination spinach and soyachunks with tomato and gramasala flavor. Generaly people don't like to mix tomato with spinach, I don't have any problem with this combination. If you don't want to mix these two vegetables then you can use lemon juice in the place of tomato. But you have to add lemon juice in the end that means just before you are going to switch off the heat. Other then spinach you can use Gongura(sorrel leaves), Totakura (amaranth leaves),chukkakura. So lets check the recipe..
