Palak Tambli

 Rice being a staple food for us South Indians we need a side to go along with rice. Most of the time I make rasam, dalitoy sarupkari, khadi’s , Sambhar the list goes on yet I feel we have a short list, And decides to make something new which I had seen in many kannadiga’s blogs but not yet tried  and it is  tambli. So today i am posting Palak Tambli. 

Tambli is normally made of a paste with coconut and yogurt and tempered with ghee, mustard seeds and chillies but you can skip coconut if you do not wish to eat coconut that day but the taste totally differs. 

So today is a version without coconut and just yogurt/curds.

Ingredients:
1 cup spinach
1 cup thick yogurt
1/2 tea spn cumin seeds
4-5 black peppers
2 green chillies
1/2 tea spn mustard seeds
4-5 curry leaves
Ghee/oil
Salt

Method:
Heat oil and add cumin seeds, pepper, green chillies, spinach, salt. Cook for 5-6mins. Cool to room temperature. Grind it to a smooth paste.
Mix yogurt and water (to bring to gravy consistency). Mix very well.
Heat ghee and add mustard seeds, curry leaves and add this seasoning to tambli.

Serves : 3-4
Preparation time : 15mins
