Heat the butter and fry the onion for 1/2 minute. Add the spinach, green chilli and salt and cook for 1 minute.

For the tomato gravy
Cook the tomatoes and onion in hot water until soft. Blend in a liquidiser.
Add the chilli powder, oregano, sugar and salt and boil for a few minutes.
Add the cream.

How to proceed
Spread the rice in a greased baking dish.
Next, spread the spinach and then spread the tomato gravy.
Cover with the cheese and bake in a hot oven at 230 degree C (450 degree F) for 20 minutes. Serve hot.

Note:
If you do not like the taste of spinach, use mixed boiled vegetables instead. I used lesser cheese & butter but the taste was awesome.
