Spinach Raita

Ingredients

  • Spinach or Baby Spinach – 1 bunch
  • Roasted Cumin Powder – 1 teaspoon
  • Salt – to taste
  • Pepper – to taste
  • Plain Yogurt – 1/2 tub
  • Milk – 1/2 cup
  • Water – 1/3 cup

Directions

  • Pluck the leaves of the spinach and discard the stems
  • Wash the leaves 2-3 times in tap water and rinse with fresh or mineral water
  • Add boiling water to the leaves in a bowl and leave for 1-2 minutes
  • Transfer the leaves into a colander and pour cold water. (This will stop the spinach from cooking further and retain its dark green color)
  • Let the water drip out
  • Transfer the Yogurt into a bowl and add the milk
  • Mix well with the milk to get a good consistency. If required add some water to make it more dilute (one can substitute milk with water completely to make it lighter)
  • Add salt and pepper to taste
  • Add the spinach leaves (squeeze the water out completely)
  • Stir the leaves into the yogurt mix
  • Garnish with cumin powder
