Raita is very often an after thought in any Indian meal but if you plan for it, you can actually get away with simple vegetable as an accompaniment and enjoy a lot of variety in your food. Spinach Raita is one such variation. It is also a great way of feeding spinach to kids. It does not taste or look like spinach yet contains all the nutrition of spinach.

Ingredients

Method

1. Remove the stems of palak/spinach leaves.
2. Wash it multiple times so that there is no dirt. Cook in pressure cooker with half inch of water. Once the cooker starts whistling, turn off the heat.
3. Open the cooker when steam dies down. Drain the water and grind spinach with very little water preferably on a grinding stone.







4. Whisk yogurt with ground spinach and salt and keep it aside.







5. Heat oil in a small pan. Add heeng and jeera. Wait till jeera crackles.



6. Turn off the heat.
7. Add red chilli powder and mix the tempering to the yogurt. Spinach Raita is ready to serve.

Note

1. Spinach does not need to be very finely ground, a little coarse is just fine. Grind as much as you like.
