Tuesday's dinner:

We lovingly call this power meal as green paste rice (coined by V when he was three years old)
2 bags of any greens. I use the power of greens from Trader Joe's. It contains baby kale, baby chard, baby spinach.
A handful of coriander seeds
Two red chillies
Two garlic cloves
A half teaspoon of tamarind paste
In a wok heat a tea spoon of oil(olive oil is fine too). When the oil is hot, add red chillies and roast them. Add the coriander seeds and garlic cloves and roast for a couple of minutes. Remove them from the wok and add the greens to the same wok and sauté for a couple of minutes (you don't want to kill the goodness so sauté only until they shrivel a little).
Grind the coriander seeds, garlic, red chillies first and when they are made into a fine powder, add the greens along with the tamarind paste and salt to taste.
Eat this with rice, idly or as a spread on bread.
Boil an egg or make an omlete and it completes the meal.
Enjoy!
