Palak Pachadi is a healthy, comfort dish. This can be served as a side dish with a spicy meal.
Palak a type of spinach, can be quickly and easily prepared as Raitha (Tamil equivalent of Pachadi). In my family, we love this raitha with ginger flavor.

Method
- Wash, chop and boil spinach with few cumin seeds (I did it in microwave oven).
- Blend boiled spinach partially; mix it with curd and salt; heat a pan with oil and do the seasoning; let the seasoning fry well and become crisp; transfer it to curd spinach mix.
