Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat mustard oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers and smells peppery, about 90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add mustard seeds and let them crackle and pop, about 30 seconds — you'll hear them bounce and pop.

  3. Step 3

    Add minced garlic and asafoetida, stir for 30 seconds until fragrant — don't let garlic brown.

  4. Step 4

    Add collard greens in handfuls, stirring to coat with oil and wilt as it hits the hot pan, 4–5 minutes total.

  5. Step 5

    Sprinkle chili powder over the greens, stir to combine, and cook for 1 more minute until leaves are fully tender.

  6. Step 6

    Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve hot, spooning the spiced oil over the top.
