4 Bunches Jute Leaves 

2 Bunches Kunde (cow pea leaves)

1 Cup Onion

1 Cup Tomatoes

3 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil

Pinch of Salt

2 Tablespoons Munyu/ Musherekha (or ½ tsp of baking soda)

will start to swell and go up the pan. Make sure you are stirring every few minutes and put a wooden spoon across the top of the pot to help reduce overflow of the bubbles. (2-3 minutes).

As soon as the vegetable has turned from light green to dark green, remove from the heat and drain all the water.

Use the same pot and add onions, then saute until they turn brown. Add tomatoes, salt and cook until tomatoes soften.

Add the Jute leaves + Majani ya kunde mix, and stir until softened.

Taste to see if salt is enough and add more if needed.

Let it cook for a few more minutes and remove from the stove and serve hot.
