Recipe Instructions

Next, follow the steps to finalize your dish and finally be able to enjoy it!

  1. To prep the vegetable, break off the roots and the woody part of the stems and discard. Wash the leaves under cold, running water and drain. Wash it out a couple of times or till clean. Roughly chop the vegetable and keep aside.

  2. Heat the oil in a large pot on medium heat. Carefully tip in the mustard seeds.

  3. When the seeds splutter, add the chillies and let them fry till fragrant.

  4. Add the onions and saute till they soften and turn slightly pinkish.

  5. Add the chopped vegetable and stir well to coat it in the oil and onion mix. Let the vegetable stir fry for a couple of minutes. You will notice it wilting already.

  6. Add some salt, to taste and stir well to mix.

  7. Add a couple of tablespoons of water and mix through.

  8. Cover the pot and cook on medium heat for about 3-5 minutes or till the vegetable is tender and most of the water has evaporated.

  9. Add the grated coconut and stir through. Check for seasoning and add more salt, if needed.

  10. Cover the pot and let it cook for about another minute to let the coconut heat through.

  11. Serve hot. Enjoy!
