Saak Bhaja (Indian-Style Greens)

Simple. Weirdly awesome. Try with a mix of mustard greens and/or collards, kale, chard, turnip greens, broccoli greens, radish tops, any and all of it. Five-spice is a mixture of black mustard seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, whole fenugreek and kalonji seeds.

Very adaptable recipe that offers a welcome change from the usual pork flavorings for greens!
