My freezer will have always frozen greens, i usually buy fresh Indian greens from Indian grocery whenever i'll go there. Back home,i'll clean them immediately and stock them in freezer for further use, unfortunately we dont get variety of greens here. Apart from drumstick leaves,methi leaves and amaranth leaves we dont have any choices of greens, obviously i have no option rather than freezing them. Its been a routine for me to freeze drumstick leaves,so that i can make many dishes using this greens whenever i feel like cooking with this healthy greens.
Its been a while i posted non vegetarian dishes in my space, last week i prepared this super spicy chicken curry with drumstick leaves, this dish goes awesome as side dish along with hot piping rasam and sambhar rice..I used a homemade spice powder to spice up this chicken dish, just loved it.Sending to Usha's
