Wash the green leaves nicely and cut its roots and keep the stem and leaves alone. Chop the leaves if they are big.

In a kadai or pan, add oil.

When oil is hot add mustard and urud dall.

when the mustard splutters and the Curry leaves and try it.

Add the garlic. I have used small garlic. If you're using the big variety of garlic then chop them into fine pieces and then add it.

Now add the dried red chilies and again fry for a while.

Add the chopped onion and again saute them nicely. So if you have shallots then you can add six finely chopped shallots.

Add washed green leaves and along with faith and salt and sugar and slightly mix it up. Adding little sugar maintains the green colors of the green leaves and I got the tip from here.

In order for the green leaves to cook properly add half Cup of water and let it cook for around 7 to 8 minutes or until the green leaves are cooked nicely. If you want nice color to the green leaves then do not cover and cook. Keep it open and cook the green leaves else they will get dull green color.

To check if the greens are cooked properly take a small part and break it if it breaks immediately then the green leaves are cooked properly.

Keep stir frying the green leaves till all the water evaporates from the green leaves.

Now add the fresh grated coconut and again stir fry for another 3 to 4 minutes and later on switch off the stove.

Yummy yummy green leaves is ready to be served.
