Microwave Spinach Raita - Celebrating Bloggers

Raita's for me is normally a mixed veggie raita or plain cucumber raita. Recently tried this Spinach Raita from Suma's Veggie Platter, tasted great and also easy to make. We make More Kootu (Spinach in Buttermilk gravy) with spinach, but this raita is something different, has no hassle of grinding any masalas, Suma has done some tadka to the raita, i have avoided that portion too, thought of avoiding the oil(Blame the Diet!!! :))

Diet was very bad for the past 2 weeks, Lot of travelling, Son not well so got a bit carried away, but now i m back on track.

Ingredients
One small bumch opf spinach, finely chopped (comes approx 2 cups, loosely packed)
2 nos green chillies, finely chopped
1 tsp of ginger, finely shredded
1 cup of Low-fat yoghurt

Method
Take the chopped spinach, chillies and ginger, sprinkle some water and Microwave High for 12 mins. Add salt and cook for another 2 mins. Take it out, Let it cool, Add whisked yoghurt and serve.
