Kale Mustard Stir fry with Indian Spices (or Sarson ka Saag with a twist) Recipe

​This delicious Kale Mustard Stir fry with Indian Spices also known as Sarson ka Saag is a delicious super green powerhouse. Like all of my ramblings around here, you will have to learn all about glucosinolates and the health benefits of kale and mustard greens before you could get to the recipe. Sarson ka Saag is typically made with Spinach and Mustard greens, but we will be making this with Kale and Mustard instead. The recipe in itself is easy but how can I not convince you first of all why you should even eat the Kale and Mustard at all.

And here is an excerpt from Charlotte’s Web by E.B.White. Lots of learning in this one little excerpt. If you have not read the book, may be you should get a copy from the library.

Backstory – Charlotte has to save her friend Wilbur, the Pig from becoming Christmas dinner. Its already Summer, and she patiently meditates for an idea to come to her.

Finally, one morning toward the middle of July, the
idea came. “Why, how perfectly simple! ” she said to
herself. “The way to save Wilbur’s life is to play a
trick on Zuckerman.

If I can fool a bug," thought Charlotte, "I can surely fool a man. 
People are not as smart as bugs."

Wilbur walked into his yard just at that moment.
“What are you thinking about, Charlotte?” he asked.
“I was just thinking,” said the spider, “that people
are very gullible.”
“What does ‘gullible’ mean?”
“Easy to fool,” said Charlotte.
“That’s a mercy,” replied Wilbur, and he lay down
in the shade of his fence and went fast asleep.
