Palak Raita

Ingredients:

• Spinach - 2 cups
• Curd - 1 cup
• Mustard Seeds - 1/2 tsp
• Cumin Seeds - 1/2 tsp
• Red Chili Powder - to taste
• Roasted Cumin Powder - to sprinkle
• Salt - to taste
• Oil - 1 tsp

Directions: 

• Beat the curd and keep aside.
• Wash spinach and discard the stems.
• Steam on low heat until tender.
• Drain and chop very finely or grind roughly. Do not throw the drained water. I like to use that water to knead the dough for roti.
• In a small pan, heat oil and splutter mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Let it cool down a bit. Pour it in the beaten curd.
• Add chopped or ground spinach and mix well.
• Add salt, red chili powder and roasted cumin powder.
• Serve chilled or at room temperature with any paratha.
