The Colours of the Day

Today, I made Palak ka Raita. For those not in the know, I have been pretty fond of this dish since those days long back when I was recuperating from a near-fatal attack of Malaria. Lately of course people around me have been hearing me going on about another 'dish' but ahem...
So anyhow, here it is, with a wodnerfully helpful 'How To'!!

After you wash the spinach leaves, dump 'em in a pan and let the stuff stew in its own juices. Then, shred the remains and place them in a decorative bowl, like so...


Then, beat some curd, and add it to the spinach, like so...

No, my fingers were not really dipped in the curd.. I reserve that kind of behaviour for cake batter. Now, put in a little salt and red chilly powder..


And mix the stuff...

Till it looks something like this, and tastes all nice and yummy!!!


And while I may remain undecided about Dish 'b' mentioned above, Dish 'a' always gets my vote for easy, yummy and healthy food of the day!!!!!!!

ok...read your blog after really long and found hadn;t read many of your posts but being lazy me i am commenting only on this one and since i am half dead it being 12 30 and 30 mins past my bed time chances of me rambling and mixing all your blogs together like the spinach raita are quite high... so well its nice when somebody happily embraces the ideology,'everythig happens for the good'(refer other post) and now you have time to find your other talents. and dekh in the archives you will be doing what you love the best: STUDYING!!!!
and the other dish is very nice too but i am on a permanent diet as far as that dish is concrned so very generoulsy and in my typicalbig hearted way i will leave it for you.. ;) but on a serious note you should continue with the other dish as it is good fo your health...

and in case you ever decide to click travel photos you know whom to get in touch with...acha good night.....:)

the dish seems easy and nice.... but does it have to be placed in a decorative bowl? an ordinary one won't do???

@anks.. oh, decorative bowls make it more fun! plus you know, all those foodie shows with decorative bowls have probably done something to my psyche..
