Recipe Notes

It is advisable to cook uncovered, to retain green color of the leaves.

The quantity of leaves becomes less after it gets cooked hence you can increase or decrease the quantity of leaves as per your requirement.

Its better if you cook, just before having lunch or dinner as it tastes great when it is hot and crisp.
