Hi Chef; what is mustard leaves, I mean in North American stores, what do they call it? is it Kale?

zut212 Posted on Fri Apr 25 2008

NO! Kale isn't the same as Mustard greens. mustard greens are more pungent than kale. also, i think that mustard greens need a *lot* of cooking, since their cell walls are thicker.

I love this site, Ustaad-ji! You're the new Ravi Shankar for cultural diplomacy. Regarding *MY* saag recipe: 1. I use mustard greens, with minimal stems. 2. spinach. 3. onions/garlic/ginger. 4. salt 5. red chili powder. NOTHING else.

(CONT) Meanwhile, i add the sauteed onions (and minimally sauteed garlic/ginger). At the end, I blend it up to smooth it out

Great site! Always love vahchef's videos, especially the very generous "pinches" ;p What is the ingredient he puts in after the cumin at 1:19? I couldn't catch the name...
