Collard Greens Poriyal (side dish)

Collard green is a excellent source of vitamin A, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron etc. It has tons of nutrients. I wish you all could visit this site to know more about collard greens and about all the nutrients in it. This taste more like drumstick leaves, if you like drumstick leaves (murungaikai poriyal) I am sure you would love this.

Ingredients
Collard greens – 1 bunch
Sliced Shallot onion – 6 to 7 or medium size onion – 1/2
Green Chilly – 1 chopped as per ur taste
Mustard
Curry leaves
Oil
Shredded coconut – 2 tbsps or egg -1

 Method
1. Wash the leaves well.                        

                                 
2. Remove the mid rib (the hard center vein of the leaf)

                                 

3. Fold the leaf into half and roll it and chop the leaves.    

                               
(You can chop it as you like, I prefer this way, it is much easier)
4. Add little oil on the pan, pop mustard , add the sliced 
onions, curry leaves and saute it for a while.

                              

5. Then add the chopped leaves and add enough water
(approximately 1/2 cup) and close it with a lid and
cook till the leaves are tender and well cooked. 

                                       

6. Now add salt ,coconut (you can also add a egg instead of
 coconut)and mix everything together and cook it for further
few minutes. You have to mix it in between to avoid any 
bottom burns. Turn off the heat and serve with rice.
