My invention of East Indian Swiss Chard

So this recipe is inspired by Saag or Saag Aloo, an east Indian spinach and potato dish.  Eyla did not even give this a try, but it is really really good. 

1 bunch of chard, chopped

2 tbsp vegetable oil

1 tsp mustard seeds

1 large onion thinly sliced

2 cloves of garlic, crushed

2 tsp ginger, grated

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp salt

1/4 cup water

Heat the oil over medium heat and fry the mustard seeds until they begin to sputter.  Add the sliced onion, garlic and ginger and fry for about 5 minutes, stirring.  Add the chili powder, salt and water and cook for 10 minutes.  Add the chard cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes.

We had this dish with my dahl recipe, white basmati rice and papadums.  You can find my dahl recipe on my cousins whole foods blog as her family loves it too :) Eyla loves the dahl with rice and green peas mixed in... she eats in by the spoonful.

Enjoy
