Palak Tambli/Spinach Tambli Recipe
Ingredients
- Palak/Spinach- 20 to 25 leaves
- Cumin seeds- 3/4 tsp
- Grated coconut- 4 tsp
- Salt- 3/4 tsp
- Whisked curds/Butter milk- 1 bowl
- Green chilly- 1 no.
- Oil- 3 tsp
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash the palak leaves and remove the thick stem from them. Keep it aside.
Method
- In a frying pan add 1/2 tea spoon of oil, palak leaves and cumin seeds. Fry them in medium flame till the spinach leaves become mushy.
- Add fried items from step 1, grated coconut, green chilly and salt in to a blender and grind it to fine paste adding minimum water.
- Now transfer this in a bowl, add whisked curds/butter milk and mix it well. The consistency of tambli should be thinner than chutney. So adjust the consistency by adding water.
- Now in a seasoning pan heat oil, add mustard seeds, urad dal, red chilly and curry leaves. When mustard seeds splutter add it to tambuli. Palak tambli is ready to be served with hot rice.
Note
- Green chilly can be replaced by red chilly or few pepper seeds. It tastes equally good.
- Do not use tangy curds for this tambli.
Why your tambli does not call for hing ?. I thought that is mandatory for brahmin. I checked the other sites to verify I can use it.
Good recipe though.
Thanks
