SWISS CHARD PORIYAL

Swiss chard poriyal I made to serve along with chapati, rice.  It is an easy preparation and loved it like the normal green veg poriyals.

Chard  is a leafy  green  vegetable  often used in Mediterranean cooking  Chard has shiny, green, ribbed leaves,  that range from white to yellow to red, depending on the cultivar.  Swiss chard is high in vitamins A, K & C.   It is also rich in minerals, dietary fiber, and protein.
