Spinach and Curd Condiment
My mother is hooked to cookery shows, mostly on Hindi and Bengali TV channels. The result is mostly positive; for her years of experience in the kitchen helps her to discard what she thinks would not be palatable to the family. This spinach and curd based condiment recipe is a simple dish that my mom shared yesterday. She being purely vegetarian, we are always on the lookout for recipes that are apt for her. Ma is also pretty addicted to junk food. I feed this would be a lovely dip for nachos or even papri; or even with her favourite crispy thin crust pizza. She claims she got it made and that it tastes good. Now some of you please try and test, and also post picture for me .
Ingredients
