Ingredients

• Dandelion greens - 200 grams
• Coconut oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Onion - 1 medium, sliced
• Tomato - 1 medium, chopped
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cumin seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
• Coriander powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Wash the dandelion greens thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or grit. Chop them into bite-sized pieces.
2. Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until fragrant.

4. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
