Preparation For Leafy Vegetables

All the leafy vegetables, also called as Palebhaaji ( some can be found only in Indian stores).
So how do you wash these leafy vegetables and prepare them for cooking?
First wash and pluck leaves and discard the stems. Wash the leaves thoroughly in water as they may have sand/dirt in it. Add these leaves in a big pot filled with water and stir them well. Sand will settle at the bottom of the pan and then remove the leaves to a plate and discard the water. Rinse the pot and fill it with the new water and repeat the process twice. Squeeze the leaves or use a salad spinner to remove excess water and chop them finely.
