There are many ways to incorporate greens into our daily diet. Greens with lentils have been the most popular and traditional way in Indian cuisine. Here is a traditional Palakkad style curry using Chaulai/ Amaranth greens, I learnt from my mother-in-law. Tastes great with rotis or rice or plain cooked millets.
Ingredients
- Chaulai greens: 2 cups
- Arhar dal: 1/4 cup
- Rock salt: to taste
- Turmeric: ½ tsp
- Spice Paste
- Fresh coconut: 1/3 cup(grated)
- White Urad dal: 1tbsp
- Red chillies: 2 nos
- Cumin seeds: ½ tsp
Method
- Soak arhar dal for around 2 hrs.
- Cook well with enough water into a mushy dal. Stirring frequently to avoid burning.
- Separate the leaves and the stem of Chaulai/ amaranth greens. Chop the stems into small pieces.
- Steam the leaves and stem separately for around 4minutes or until just wilted. Do not overcook.
- Cool the leaves and blend into a paste.
- Dry roast white urad dal and red chillies until the dal turns light brown. Cool and grind with coconut and cumin seeds with water to get a thick smooth paste.
- To the boiled dal, add salt, turmeric, greens paste and pieces of the steamed stem. Once boiled add ground coconut paste.
- Make a tempering by dry roasting mustard seeds.
Wellcure Tip:
- The end product should have the consistency of dal that we usually serve with rotis. So add water accordingly.
- The stem of the greens I used were extremely tender. You can choose not to use them if they are not tender.
Eating Guide:
- Food group lentils, nuts, and greens.
-
Lentils are rich in fibre and a good source of proteins as well.
-
Veggies are loaded with enzymes and high water content. They aid in digestion and act as a daily dose of vitamins and minerals.
- Nuts provide good fats and protein for the body.
