kale and mushrooms in ginger sauce recipe | kale mushroom recipe

kale and mushrooms in ginger sauce recipe – i had made this kale & mushrooms in ginger sauce as a accompanying side dish with schezwan fried rice.

i sometimes make mushroom in ginger sauce or garlic sauce, when i make veg fried rice or garlic fried rice. basically the recipe is just mushrooms in ginger sauce, where i have added kale leaves.

so before you ask me where did i manage to buy kale in india, i will give you the link. kale is not easily available in india. i buy a few vegetables from a website and it was here, that i found the kale leaves. i brought it many times thereafter.

usually i add them to dal and make a kale dal. similar to the way we make spinach dal. i have also made kale pakoras. i purchase kale from the greentokri website.

i don't know what is kale called in hindi. basically kale is a relative of the cabbage family. however, unlike cabbage, there is no head formation in kale. it has dark green or purple curled leaves with bitter notes and a chewy texture. the bitterness is not like the bitterness of bitter gourd or karela. its mildly bitter and eatable. for an indian taste which is used to having bitter stuff like karela or neem, kale is easily eatable. the taste is also some what like the taste of drumstick leaves.

so in this dish, you will get to taste the faint bitterness of the leaves. if you like kale, then this recipe is good. the sauteed mushrooms add a contrasting texture in the dish. the recipe is mildly spiced and can accompany any fried rice dish or even plain steamed rice very well.

being a superfood, kale is very rich in essential nutrients. read more nutritional information about kale here.
