Serving Suggestions
- Serve them as a side dish.
- Garnish the plain rice with Stir Fry Collard Greens; this gives a nice color and texture to rice.
- Take a toasted bagel or slice of bread spread the cream cheese and garnish with stir-fry collard green to make an open face sandwich.

I am going to see if she will try this with them. Thanks again, Mrs. Jain, for all you do. We love your food, and I appreciate how easy your recipes are!

November 30, 2011 at 2:22 pmExcellent recipe. Would collard green leaves be a good substitute for patra leaves (rolls , with masala besan paste and fried) ?
