Let us know right away how to properly prepare mustard greens.
Here’s how to get ready:
To prepare this, thoroughly clean and wash green vegetables. Set aside 3 cups of washed and sorted mustard leaves. Sort 1/2 cup fenugreek, 1 cup spinach, and 1 cup bathua together for this.

Grandmother’s recipe
To make traditional mustard greens, press it with a mathani and melt it. This improves both the texture and the flavour. The greens must be cooked over a low heat. To make the green tart, combine desi ghee and desi butter. These things improve the flavour of mustard greens. To desi ghee, add dry red chilies, garlic, and ginger, then brown the onions. The longer you fry the mustard greens, the better the flavour, so cook them for 10-12 minutes on a slow to medium heat.
Don’t make these errors.
Some people put tomatoes in their mustard greens, but the classic and traditional way does not. Ginger and garlic should not be fried for too long or they will burn. If you use too much water when making it, the recipe will be ruined.
