Mixed greens fry

 I must admit that I have too much of love for greens . I love them so much that the sight of them excites my senses, I feel happy and a pleasant feeling rolls over me.  

So as usual I brought a mix of greens (palak, sabsige, chakotha) you can use any 1 variety if required and make a simple fry / palya. I use onions and coconut which compliments with its crunchiness to the softtness of greens.

Ingredients:

Soak the greens in water for at least half an hour so that all the dust and mud sits at the bottom. Strain and chop 

2 finely chopped onions   

1 string of curry leaves. 

4 chopped garlic pods 

4-5 broken red chillies 

1/4 coconut grated

2 tsp oil 

1 tsp mustard seeds 

Pinch of turmeric powder  

1/2 tsp chilli powder

 

Method: 

Heat oil in a pan, add mustards to crackle, roast garlic chops, red chillies and curry leaves

Sauté onions for a minute and add turmeric and chilli powder, sauté for a minute 

Put the chopped greens into the pan without even a little water, if you don't strain the greens well the fry becomes watery and soggy

Fry until greens gets cooked

Once greens gets cooked garnish with grated coconut and switch off the flame

 

Add salt at the last after removing from the stove,else it will aid the greens to release water

Greens palya / fry is a best accompaniment with rice sambhar/ rasam or to have it as is.
