Spinach & Pumpkin (White Doodhi) when added to Yoghurt makes delicious and highly nutritious Raita, which can go well with both lunch or dinner or can even be had as in between meal-filler. Take one bunch of spinach. Finely chop the leaves, wash well and boil/steam for five minutes. Drain out excess water and add to blended Yoghurt with salt, pepper and ground jeera (cummin seed). Garnish with chopped coriander. Similarly, take quarter kilo (250 gms) Doodhi, peel the skin and grate. Boil with a little water for five minutes and follow the same procedure for draining excess water and adding to blended Yoghurt.
Brings back memories of childhood summers! I haven't tried the spinach raita; will do so one day soon. Thanks Veena!
