This side was inspired by Indian palak chaat. Look for coriander (or cilantro) chutney in the international aisle of well-stocked grocery stores.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup whole-milk plain yogurt

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 pound spinach

  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • ¼ cup coriander chutney (See Tip)

  • ¼ cup finely chopped red onion

  • Cilantro leaves for garnish

Directions

  1. Combine yogurt and lemon juice in a small bowl.

  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add spinach in batches and cook, stirring, until just wilted, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in coriander and cumin.

  3. Serve the spinach topped with the yogurt sauce, chutney and onion. Garnish with cilantro, if desired.

Tip:

Coriander chutney, also known as cilantro chutney, is a common ingredient in Indian cuisine. The herb sauce is usually made with cilantro, chile peppers, coconut and seasonings like cumin, ginger and garlic, then thinned out with oil. Look for it in the international aisle at the grocery store.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
