My 12-year-old son recently started eating greens (I’m so happy!) thanks to his wonderful teacher, who is growing veggies with the kids, and cooking! I am going to see if she will try this with them.

Excellent recipe. Would collard green leaves be a good substitute for patra leaves (rolls , with masala besan paste and fried) ?
