How to Make Palak Raita Spinach Curd

  1. In a medium bowl, beat 1 cup of plain yogurt until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add ½ teaspoon red chili powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Sauté for 10 seconds, stirring constantly.
  3. Add ½ cup finely chopped onions and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add 1 cup packed fresh spinach leaves (roughly chopped) and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until spinach wilts and is tender.
  5. Remove from heat and let the spinach mixture cool slightly to room temperature.
  6. Gently fold the cooled spinach mixture into the yogurt.
  7. Mix well and let the raita rest for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Serve chilled with your favorite Indian breads (like naan or roti) or alongside spiced rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional).
