Bengal gram leaves sabzi

When I entered the farm filled with Bengal gram plants, that green color was so soothing and healing to the eyes. 

I could sense the leaves saying to me, ‘We are very good for your stomach and body.’  The taste and flavour could almost be felt in my brain. And we got to eat its sabzi, which was so delicious, with a distinct flavour. Immediately I took the recipe, brought the leaves home and cooked it, much to the delight of my husband.

Ingredients:

5 cups of cleaned, washed and chopped Bengal gram leaves(without the thick stems)

¾ cup roasted,skinned,crushed peanuts

2 green chillies

1 onion cut fine

4 flakes of garlic, cut fine

Salt to taste

1 tbsp oil

Instruction:

-          Take all the ingredients except the oil in a thick bottomed pan and put on medium heat.

-          Reduce the flame and cover the pan, stirring in between to make sure it doesn’t stick to the bottom.

-          When it is cooked, which takes about 6 minutes, add the oil, mix well and remove from fire.

-          It goes well with chapatis and steamed rice.
