60. Spinach Salad (Palak Koshimbir/Salad)

Final Outcome: Healthy and yummy!

        My mom has a very old hand written note book which contains innumerable recipes. These recipes are a mixture of various cuisines collected over more than 30 years. There are a lot of extremely unique recipes. Menthe Kadbu is one such recipe which I have posted here. I plan to make many more unique dishes and post.
        Getting back to Spinach salad: This is again one of my mom's recipe. It is a very simple and very healthy salad. I think even kids who are picky eaters will love it.

Recipe:
Ingredients:
Spinach leaves: 1 bunch/ 2 hand full
Curd/Yogurt: 1 cup
Onion: 1/4th onion chopped
Tomato: 1 small chopped
Salt to taste
Sugar: 1/2 tsp
Black pepper: 1 tsp crushed

Method:
1. Heat 3 cups of water in a pan. When water comes to a boil take off heat. Soak spinach into this water and leave for 3-4 mins.Drain out the water and set aside.  Note: This step is midway between blanched and cooked. Spinach should lose is crunchiness but should not be cooked. 
2. In a bowl add curd, chopped onion, tomato, and spinach from step 1.
3. Add salt and sugar.
4. Add crushed pepper and mix well before serving.

    1. Do let me know how it turned out. Another alteration to this is by adding a pinch of cumin powder.
