Hara Murg

This is a recipe which I created to feed my kids some greens along with their favorite chicken. I have used minimal ingredients.  I have only used big /brown cardamom as dry spice in this recipe. So, it has a little sweet flavor, which I like.   My kids loved it, although it was green.  Try it and let me know if your kids enjoyed it.
