COLLARD KUTTU

Collard are dark coloured greens, which belong to cabbage family.They are rich in calcium vitamim B1,B2,B9 , C and beta carotene .Collards are good sources soluble fiber and contain multiple nutrients with potent anti-cancer properties.

I liked the taste of this green when i tried Poriyal(curry) so... tried kuttu and it tasted good like any other kootu.

I am sorry i am not able to give you the measurement. it was all approximate.any of the dhals can be used. i basically prefer moong dhal or tur dhal as channa dhal causes gastric problem for most of them.

Moongdhal/tur dhal/channa dhal-cooked
Coconut-2 tbs
Jeera-1 tsp
Green chilli- to taste
Salt-to taste

METHOD:

1)Wash and chop the greens
2)Pressure cook the dhal.
