Chaulai saag is cultivated at the onset of summer. This green leafy vegetable is tasty and is a source of many kinds of nutrients. In Odia ,we call this sag as 'leutia'. This saag can be cooked with veggies, dal or as simple as it is. I cooked in a simple way and servers with fried and crushed Head dal bodi. This preparation is so tasty and more delicious. Can be a side dish or you can relish 'Chaulai' with steamed rice /Pakhala.
