Wash and clean the mustard leaves and stems thoroughly.

Separate the stems from the leaves. Cut the stems into 3 cm pieces and roughly chop the leaves.

Heat a pan with the mustard oil over low heat.

When the oil is hot, roast the fenugreek seeds until they become fragrant and a beautiful dark golden color.

Add the onions and sauté them until they are translucent.

Add the dried red chilies, the garlic cloves, the ginger paste and the garlic paste. Mix well. Cook for 2 minutes.

Add the green vegetables and salt, then cook until the leaves are tender but still bright green (about 6 minutes). Stir well.
