Spinach Raita Recipe

Seasoned Salad with Yogurt and Spinach

In a small, dry skillet, stirring constantly, roast until lightly browned (about 2-3 minutes):

1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds

Grind the seeds in a blender or mortar and pestle.

In a bowl, combine:

1/2 cup yogurt

1 1/2 Tablespoons milk

1 1/2 Tablespoons water

1 1/2 teaspoons sour cream

the roasted, ground cumin seeds

1/4 teaspoon salt

pinch hot red pepper powder, or to taste

pinch cumin/coriander powder

1 cup fresh or 3/4 cup frozen spinach, finely chopped

1 small carrot, diced or grated

1 1/2 red radishes, diced or grated

1 1/2 teaspoons fresh coriander leaves (cilantro), chopped

1 1/2 teaspoons fresh raw onion, diced

1/2 small tomato, diced

1/2 scallion, diced

Add enough water so that the dressing for the salad is the consistency of heavy cream. You may garnish this salad with hot pepper powder, cumin/coriander powder, and sliced fresh scallion.
