Spinach is cooked frequently at my place in different ways and with all its goodness and health benefits is a power food. Pachadi with spinach is a quick preparation, that a friend thought of, to make in a hurry one day. Tried this out today and it was perfect with rice.Ingredients
1 bunch - Spinach, washed well
1 to 2 - Green chili, chopped
Salt to taste
Grind to a smooth paste
1/2 cup - Coconut
1/2 tsp - Mustard seeds
1/2 cup - Medium sour creamy yogurt
Seasoning
1/2 tsp - Mustard seeds
2 - Dry whole red chili
2 sprigs - Curry leaves
Method
1 ) In a pan cook spinach in very little water with green chili and salt to taste, covered with a lid. Once cooked, take off the stove and cool. Transfer to a blender / grinder and plus two times to get a coarse texture.
2 ) Transfer spinach to a pan. Grind coconut and mustard to a smooth paste, with little water. Add this coconut- mustard paste to the pan with spinach and mix. Heat the stove, place the pan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, add beaten yogurt and adjust salt to taste. After adding yogurt, don't cook for long. Just before it comes to a boil, take off the stove.
3 ) Heat oil in another pan. Add mustard seeds and pop. Add dry red chili and curry leaves. Fry for a second and pour this seasoning on the pachadi. Stir and mix in.
Serve as a side dish with rice.

Hi Pravs,
We also make this one regularly, but we grind cumins with the coconut instead of mustard seeds. So I should try how this tastes.
Hello Pravs,
Thanks a million. That is a super recipe. Goes well as a side dish with a lot of things if I alter the consistency.
Nice reciepe ....will try it soon :)
