About this Recipe:
Bahar: Spicy spinach and yogurt dip. For those who like it hot and spicy. Feel free to reduce the amount of spices for a milder taste. I found the original recipe in Najaf Darya-Bandari's cook book in Persian (Ketab-e mostatab-e ashpazi, az sir ta piaz).

Main Ingredients:
Spinach: 1 package frozen (about 1 pound)

Mustard seed: 1/2 tsp (use the paste if you can't find the seeds)**
Salt: 1/4 tsp (or to taste)
Vegetable oil: 1 tbsp
Directions:
1. Cook the frozen spinach according to the package instruciton. Drain the excess water completely.
2. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low. Add ground cumin, cayenne pepper,
ground fenugreek seed and mustard seed, swril and mix for 10 seconds.
