Palak Raita: Spinach In Yogurt

I have eaten many varieteis of raitas but this one was new for me and delicious as ever, extremely satiating side dish. An Uttarakhand delicacy. I had this in a small ton called Arakot near Kanatal where we stayed. I enjoyed it a lot  with the mandue ki roti, and am sharing the simple raita recipe with you all.

Ingredients

1 bunch spinach cleaned and chopped roughly
2 green chillies chopped
2 tspns clarified butter for tempering
A small spoon of cumin seeds
1 small spn of asafoetida
Salt to taste
Home made fresh yogurt, as required

Method
In a pan heat the clarified butter, add cumin seeds let them splutter, add asafoetida and the chillies, now add the spinach,  salt as needed, cook till the rawness is gone. Transfer into a mixing bowl and keep it ready, juast at meal time mix in the yogurt and garnish with chopped coriander. Serve with roti, bhakri of any kind.
