Pala Raita- Yoghurt Dip made with spinach puree and spices.

Palak Raita- Spinach is a  very healthy vegetable which is full of health benefits. It is very rich in iron too. We make so many variety of recipes with spinach. During summer we use yogurt more to cool down our digestive system.

During summer we regularly makes different types of raita and yogurt based curry and kadhi’s. This palak raita is my favorite ad this is most healthier among all the raita I makes regularly.

For making palak raita you have to discard the thick steams from spinach and then wash it well 2-3 times to remove all the dirt and dust from the leaves.

then blanch palk in boiling water for 2-3 minutes or till the leaves wilt. Now remove the leaves from hot water and add in ice cold water. This step ensures that you will get bright green paste of spinach after grinding.After grinding add this spinach paste in beaten yogurt . Add all the spices and mix well.

Chill the prepared palak raita before serving. Thus delicious raita goes well with rice,pulao ,paratha and roti.
