Roman forget the spinach ...try this one .....its really good.
Now a simple recipe from my side , try it with nachos or plain salted crisps.

A bowl of yogurt
4 fresh green chillies(choped finely)
1 teaspoon red chillie powder
Fresh dhaniya(corriander) cut and chopped
1 full teaspoon Zeera powder
1 teaspoon corriander powder

u can increase or decrease the ingredients according to taste.
Mix all of them well and enjoy it as a dip for crisps,Nachos etc....


Health issue for some friends: People who drink alcahol specially beer avoid having large portions of this dip as it will make u extreemly sleepy and give u allot of acidity.

Abay, I even put some boiled potato, cut tomato, and onion in the above. It's like a mini version of dhahi bhalay that goes good with anything.

For spinach dip mix cold washed finely diced spinach, mustard, mayo, sour cream. Blend. Add spring vegetables, green onions (all diced), salt pepper to taste, refrigerate 2 hrs b4 serving.

Also, for nachos, try salsa, for chips, try thick raita, for crackers, stick with cheese.

Roman Bhai..my personal experience: spinach dips taste best with pumper nickle bread.

I am not sure if you wanna try this or not..but sometimes when i bake spinach or make spinach desi style..and if its left over..i mix it with french dressing or salad dressing sometimes..and the dip is ready..another thing i noticed is that phaladelphia salmon/tuna cream cheese makes a good dip too..mix it with left over spinach and mix an little bit of milk to get the fluffy consistency

Anyhow, here's two recipes..just in case if you wanna try something different.
