ayurvedic notes
Bitter collard greens and turmeric help thin and move the blood, destroying kapha. Lemon and black pepper assists digestion of the heavier potato and sunflower oil.
about
Simple and delicious, there are many variations. Although this recipe uses lemon others make collard greens with vinegar.
