Kale.. again, made another way

I tried this way of making the kale almost like I had cooked the red spinach. This was very much liked @ home too. It is good with just plain rice or just as it is.



Ingredients: 

1:  A bunch of Kale                                      -  1

2: Garlic                                                       - 4 pieces

3: Onion                                                       - 1/4 cup

4: Raw rice                                                  - 3 tbsp

5: Turmeric Powder                                      - 1 tsp

6: Cumin seeds                                            - 1 tsp

7: Mustard seeds                                          - 1 tsp

8: Urad Dhaal                                               - 1 tsp

9: Channa Dhaal                                           - 1 tsp

10: Salt                                                           - as required

11: Oil                                                           - 2-3 tbsp


Cooking Instructions:

Thoroughly wash the kale leaves and chop them into little pieces discarding the tough stems.
Heat the oil in a deep pan and add the mustard seeds and let splutter. Then add the dhaals (lentil) and cumin seeds and as the cumin seeds splutter, add the raw rice and let it fry a bit. To this add the cut kale and mix it in with enough salt and the turmeric. Thoroughly stir it around a bit and then close the pan with a lid and cook the kale covered with the lid for about four minutes. Do watch the kale, do not let the leaves turn dark, they should be green even when soft and cooked. Now,  remove the lid and cook the kale the remainder of the time until the leaves are really soft. If you want, you can mix in a bit of coconut just before turning off the stove.
Remember to cook the kale well but also be careful not to lose the green color.
Enjoy your kale with steaming rice.
