My monthly column on OneGreenPlanet!

Kale is one fine thang! Its almost like this gigantic green full of nutrients.. Use it in salads, soups smoothies, bake and make Chips , steam, cook on stove top and add to curries, pasta, rice.. and you are good for the day! This cruciferous vegetable is rich in Vitamins K, A ,C, anti-oxidants, fibre, antinflammatory omega 3s and cancer preventing phytonutrients..Read more about the health benefits here

We started eating Kale all nicely packaged, or nicely cooked or in salads. But now we get local and organic huge and beautiful Kale from full circle farm! So, I keep trying some different ways to eat it at home.

To prep Kale, wash, pat dry, Cut up the thick stems, remove ribs and cut the leaves into desired sizes. Cook the stems before the leaves and for longer and then add leaves.

I added some Kale to Daal(lentil soup) and that turned out wonderful! This pulao is almost a one pot meal or a great side for a holiday spread!

Garnish with cilantro, lemon juice, pomegranate seeds or crumble some potato chips and serve!
