Kale is a form of cabbage with green curly leaves. I have
seen lot of greens in stores, but I usually buy spinach in a point it got bored
but need to add greens, by that time one of my friend suggested kale and
collards I tried both and fall in love on kale. When I first tasted this, felt
I was eating drumstick leaves. Started to buy regularly recently, recently I
came to know to get maximum nutrition from kale it should be steamed for only 5
minutes. I usually like drumstick leaves poriyal to eat with white rice, so
tried this rice for first time and it tastes good.
