Method

  1. 1

    Wash mustard greens thoroughly. Roughly chop the leaves and tender stems.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tbsp mustard oil to smoking in a wide pan. Reduce to medium-high.

  3. 3

    Add thinly sliced garlic — fry 1 minute until golden.

  4. 4

    Add finely chopped green chillies. Stir 20 seconds.

  5. 5

    Add all the mustard greens at once. Add turmeric.

  6. 6

    The pan will look very full — the greens will reduce to about one-quarter volume.

  7. 7

    Toss on high heat without covering for 5 to 6 minutes until all the greens are wilted and completely tender and any moisture has evaporated completely.

  8. 8

    Do not cover — covering causes steaming which makes the greens watery.

  9. 9

    Season with salt.

  10. 10

    Serve immediately with steamed rice.
