Ingredients

  • 3 cups spinach finely chopped

  • ½ cup small onions or shallots finely chopped
  • 3 small green chillies sliced

  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon mustard seeds
  • ¼ teaspoon fenugreek seeds

Instructions

  • Place yogurt and ½ cup water in a large bowl. Whisk gently with a fork until combined. Set aside.
