    2.      Once the oil heats up add in mustard seeds .Once it splutters add in Slit open green chillies and then add in the onions. Fry it till it becomes translucent. Add in Salt and the turmeric powder.

    3.      Mix it well and then add in the Keerai and mix well. Close it and cook in low flame for about 5 mins and the open the kadai the keerai would have reduced in volume by this time.
