Instructions
  1. Remove the thick stem parts out of kale.
  2. Soak the leaves for 15 minutes in water filled bowl.
  3. After that wash twice or thrice and drain the excess water.
  4. Now using big knife chop them by arranging more kale in a row, so that you can finish chopping quickly.
  5. Once done with chopping them all, heat oil in a pan/kadai.
  6. When oil is hot splutter cumin seeds.
  7. Add chopped onion, pinch of salt.
  8. Saute till onion turns golden brown.
  9. Now add chopped kale, within 2 minutes they reduce in size but this tooks a little time to cook like moringa, so sprinkle some water and in medium flame cook till they perfectly cooked.
  10. Meanwhile pulse the green chili with coconut in food mixer, keep aside.
  11. Add the separately cooked dal, pulsed green chili and coconut mixture.
  12. Add enough salt, stir all together let them cook till all water evaporates and poriyal turns dry.
