Though we do not get the drumstick leaves here in U.S, still we can make use of what we get like collard greens or Kale leaves. They are definitely has the bitter and distinctive taste and tough in texture, similar to our Drumstick leaves. These are packed with nutrients …. try include these greens in the weekly menu !!!
Ingredients
- Kale Leaves/ Drumstick leaves - 1 bunch
- Onion (chopped) - 1/4 cup
- Garlic pods -4
- Mustard/urad dal - 1/4 tbsp
- Cumin seeds - 1/4 tbsp
- Asafoetida powder - pinch
- Dry Red Chillies - 2
- Grated coconut - 2 to 3 tbsp
- Salt - to taste
- Oil - 1 tbsp
Preparation :
Wash and clean the leaves. Usually a bunch will have 8-10 leaves like this. The stalk in the center will be very hard, so we got to cut and discard those. Chop the leaves in smaller sizes and keep aside.
Heat oil in a pan, splutter mustard and urad dal, cumin seeds, red chili and curry leaves. Sprinkle asafoetida and add chopped onions and crushed garlic. Saute them for 2-3 minutes, then add the chopped Kale / collard greens and salt. These greens are very tough and takes little longer to cook. Sprinkle some water and cook covered. As soon as the greens get cooked add the shredded coconut and fry really well till all the water gets evaporated. Enjoy the greens meal with sambar rice or any other rice!!! :)
