amaranth greens
hara saag
2
cups
plain yoghurt
½
tsp
black salt
½
tsp
red chilli powder
1
pinch
hing
salt
to taste
½
tsp
cumin seeds
1
tbsp
oil/ghee
Instructions
Pick the leaves from the amaranth bunch and discard the thicker stems. Wash well under running water and drain.
Heat 1 cup of water in a pan and when the water has come to a boil, add the washed amaranth leaves.
Cook for 2-3 mins. Drain the water from the leaves.
Grind the leaves to make a smooth paste and keep aside.
Separately, whisk yoghurt till smooth.
Mix in the green amaranth puree and all the spices (except hing and cumin seeds)
Heat oil in a small tadka pan. When hot, add hing and cumin seeds. When the seeds start to crackle, add the tempering to the raita.
Refrigerate for 15-20 mins before serving.
Notes
For a no-oil recipe, skip the tempering.
For a spicier version, add some green chillies to the leaves when grinding
