  2. Whisk yogurt and salt together in another bowl. Add black salt and whisk again. Grind the cooked spinach with green chillies in a mixer. Roast cumin seeds and peppercorns in a pan. Cool slightly and pound to a coarse powder. Add ground spinach to the whisked yogurt and mix properly. Keep it in the refrigerator to chill.

  4. Garnish with the sautéed spinach and serve.
