Instructions
Making of Palak/spinach Tambuli :
- Firstly heat a pan on moderate flame and add ghee. Once the ghee is melted up add chopped palak/spinach.
- Saute well for 2 to 3 mins. Then add little hing. This is because, while frying green leaf, it releases gas. So to avoid gas, here i have added hing.
- Again Saute it for a minute until palak shrinks in size. Then turn off the heat and allow to cool this completely.
- Next transfer this cooked palak to a blender and add grated coconut, cumin and black pepper.
- Add little water and blend to a fine paste.
- Then transfer this blended mixture to a bowl. Similarly add buttermilk or curd.
- Likewise add salt. Give it a good mix and keep it aside. Meanwhile we prepare tempering for tambuli.
- Heat a tempering pan and add coconut oil. Once the oil is hot enough, add mustard, cumin, hing and curry leaves.
- Saute well until it splutters. Turn off the heat and add prepared tempering to palak tambuli. Mix it well.
- Now the healthy, nutritious palak/spinach tambuli is ready.
- Serve this tambuli with hot rice with a spoonful of ghee.
