Kale Junka / Kale cooked with chickpea flour and mild spices.

 Kale is something that my family don't like yet   so i keep trying new recipes . Just yesterday i had some of it lying in the fridge and thought of cooking it in Maharastrian style with besan and everyone seems to have liked it because they ate without any complaints.  If you ask me i myself don't like besan much :) .But since everybody else liked it i thought of recording the recipe .So here is my version of junka. 

Kale  - 4 cup , chopped fine

Hot Green Chilli - 4 , chopped fine

Onion - 1 cup , chopped fine

Ginger Garlic Paste - 1 tsp

Besan / Chickpea flour  - 4 tbsp

Turmeric - 1/4 tsp

Chilli Pw - 1 tsp

Amchur Pw -1 tsp

Cumin Seeds -1/4 tsp

Oil - 1 tbsp

Salt to taste

1. Cook kale with salt ,green chilli and turmeric till tender.

2. Drain and keep aside. (I pressure cook kale with no water)

2. Heat oil and add cumin seeds. Let it crackle.

3. Add onion , ginger garlic paste  and cook .

4. When onion turns translucent add besan and keep stirring.

5. Cook besan till the raw smell vanishes.

6. Add chilli pw and add amchur  and mix well.

7. Add kale and cook mixing now and then till mixture turns to crumble.

8. Serve with dal ,achar and roti.
