Cooking Greens - ever so slightly..

Masala option 1
Saute half an onion and one tomatoewith a little salt.
Add some daal water to this mix and boil with coriander powder, rock salt and pepper powder.

Masala option2
Cook 2 table spoons of toor dal with enough water to a paste consistency.
Grind 1 Table spoon of coconut, half tea spoon of cumin seeds and quarter green chili (per person) into a smooth paste.

Preparing Greens  
Wash half of a medium bunch of greens and chop them fine
Bring a tiny layer of water to rolling boil.
Switch off the stove, add the greens, one small whole tomato and cover with lid. The whole tomato is supposed to preserve the minerals in greens.

Mixing
Add masala to the greens and mix well. I use a hand blender to mash them up a little.
When done add seasoning (I use mustard seeds, urad dal, cummins, curry leaves spluttered in very little oil) to the mix.

Serves one person.
