Gather @dried red chili{2}, @cumin seed{1%tsp}, @ground turmeric{0.5%tsp} and @fresh cilantro{2%tbsp}.

Soak the @dried fermented greens{60%g} in warm water 15 minutes to soften, then drain and roughly chop. ~{15%minutes}

Heat the @mustard oil{2%tbsp} until it shimmers and just starts to smoke, then pull it off the heat a moment to mellow its sharp raw edge.

Return to the heat and sizzle the cumin seeds and dried chilies, then add the @onion{1}, @garlic{4%clove} and turmeric and cook until the onion softens.

Stir in the @tomato{3} and cook until it collapses into the onions.

Add the chopped greens, @potato{300%g} and 800 ml water; simmer until the potato is tender and the broth turns pleasantly sour, about 15 minutes. ~{15%minutes}

Season with @salt{}, finish with cilantro, and serve as a soup or spooned over rice.
