  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 1 tbsp of coriander seeds - crushed

Instructions

  1. Mince the greens to the best of your abilities

  3. Heat wok over high heat, add in butter, once melted, add in the bowl of ingredients from step 2, stir fry until fragrant
  4. Add in minced greens, stir well to combine
  5. Once the greens have thoroughly wilted and are give off juices, add in water mixed with starch, bring to boil while stirring constantly
  6. Turn heat down to low so the mix is simmering, add in salt and red pepper flakes, stir to combine
  7. Let simmer for 10 minutes (stirring occasionally), until greens are completely tender

Comments

(Perhaps obviously) goes well with rice and/or naan.

Can (probably) be embellished with paneer or cut potatoes in step 6.
