GREENS FRY ...










Ingr:

Greens of choice                   1 bunch 
Onion                                      1
garlic                                       2 - 3 flakes
roasted peanusts                   1 tbsp
roasted red chillies                2 - 3
mustard seeds                       1/2 tsp
urad dal split                          1 tsp
cumin seeds                          1/4 tsp 
turmeric                                 1/4 tsp
salt to taste 
oil                                            1/2 tbsp  


Method:
  1. Pick greens and soak in salted water for 10 - 15 mts. 
  2. Wash thoroughly, strain,  cut finely; keep aside.
  3. Dice the onions and chop garlic finely.
  4. Heat oil in a pan,  add mustard, cumin; on crackling add urad dal, garlic and stir .
  5. Now add onions and fry lightly; add the cut greens and stir fry. Add turmeric.
  6. Cook on slow heat till all water evaporates. Now add salt to taste, mix well. Stir fry on high flame to remove the sogginess. 
  7. Powder roasted peanuts and red chillies coarsely as shown above and sprinkle on the greens mixture. 
  8. Remove and serve hot.

Note:
  1. Picking and cleaning the greens needs care. Soaking in salt water removes all impurities.
  2. Adding turmeric and cooking without covering, keeps the green colour intact.
  3. As greens tend to shrink, adding salt at the end is safe ; it determines the quantity needed.
  4. Cooking time takes 10 - 15 mts.
