Red Chard Thoran

Red Spinach Upperi
Red For Rainy days...
Usually back in Kerala we use to get Red Spinach which tasted really good and we also loved it a lot. But here we get only the green spinach
So instead of Red Spinach, we tried Red Chard and I must say, it tastes the same. So this is how we made the Spinach Upperi back in Kerala. But here i tried it with Red Chard

Ingredients (Serves 2)
Cheera Upperi
Red Chard - 1 bunch (250 gms)
Shallots - 3 nos (sliced thin)
Green Chilly - 3
Salt
Oil - 1 tbsp
Mustard - 1 tsp
Urad Dal - 1/2 tsp
Grated Coconut - 2 tbsp

Slice the Red Chard very thinly and keep aside

Heat oil in a pan and splutter the mustard seeds, add urad dal and fry for half a minute.
Now add the shallots and green chilly and fry for half a minute
Dont wait for them to brown as of now
Now add the red chard and sprinkle with very little salt. Let it cook for a minute
Now mix it well and close the pan with a lid
As we are using the stem also, to cook fast its better to cook with a lid
Once its done, do a test taste and take it off heat.

Happy Eating Guys!!!
