Ingredients:

Plain Curd - 3 cups

Fresh spinach, chopped - 1 cup

Cumin seeds (jeera) - 1 tbsp

Salt, pepper

Boil water and add the spinach. When it is cooked, strain it and squeeze all the water out (really well). In the serving bowl, add the curd and beat it to remove lumps and slowly mix in the spinach separating the leaves from each other. In a roasting pan, dry roast the cumin seeds till they turn dark brown and you start to smell the seeds. When they are done, hand crush them in a mortal pestle. Add this to the curd-spinach mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.

Note: You can also add finely chopped onions and/or finely chopped tomatoes.
