Among leafy vegetables spinach, fenugreek, cola cassia and also many other local varieties are there.

Vegetables are cooked in different ways in all regions using different masalas (spice mixes). So the same vegetable tastes different when cooked and looks different too. Wouldn't that be interesting to you and your family?

Vegetables are cooked by steaming, stir frying, sauteing and deep frying. You can choose the way you cook your vegetables.

Deep frying once in a while is ok but otherwise it is better to use the other ways such as boiling, steaming, stir frying or sauteing.
