We’ve frequented Sheetal Bukhara quite a lot, Rach & Me. Sometimes my Mom, Sister and Niece too joined us for a meal there. Once we ordered palak raita – the thing is I have to eat yogurt in some form with my meals – usually plain - but this day I wanted to try something different. And wow it was so good! I asked the waiter if I could get the recipe and he got so distressed that I let it be. Anyways, I dissected it via my taste buds and got it right soon enough.
Put on a liter of water to boil; while it’s heating, clean up one bunch of spinach (palak) – break off the stems keeping the leaves intact. Once water boils, blanch spinach for a minute and take it off the heat. Drain and rinse in cold water – leave to cool. While it’s cooling whisk 2 cups of curds with some salt (to taste) and half a teaspoon of jeera powder (ground roasted jeera). Now the spinach should have cooled – squeeze out excess water – puree in mixer with 1 clove of garlic and half a green mirchi. Mix in yogurt – cool it for an hour or so and enjoy….
It’s healthy, it’s simple to make & it’s tasty. You could even use it as a dip or eat it as a snack. Fiber + Proteins…
Recommend making this....:-)
