One good way to wash your green is to fill a large pot with water.
Dip your greens in water.
Let it stay for a minute.
All the impurities will settle down.
Gently take out the leaves without disturbing the water.
Repeat the process 2-3 times.
2

Chop the greens and add them in a pressure cooker.
Add tomato, onion, ginger, garlic, radish, green chilli, salt and a cup of water.
Pressure cook for 20-25 minutes on low heat.
3

Remove the pressure cooker from heat and let it cool.
Once cooled, blend the greens in a blender to make a coarse paste or according to your own taste.
