Home Cooking in Pune- sometimes marathi, sometimes german, sometimes...

Since an old friend asked I thought I'd put this out there for those of you who want to use/tweak or simply remember a simple and yet tasty dish- palak raita.

Palak cha raita
Ingredients
~10 leaves of palak washed
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 green chilly
~ 300 ml home-made (natural/bio) dahi (yoghurt)
salt to taste
Method (or protocol?)
1) Pressure cook the spinach leaves (2-3 whistles)
2) Allow to cool and add dahi and stir
3) Hand grind the mustard seeds and whip with some dahi
4) Add the mustard-dahi mix and length sliced chilly made into 4-5 pieces

Enjoy this as an accompaniment with meat or vegetable dishes and rice/chappatis.
