Step 1
Heat mustard oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers and smells peppery, about 90 seconds.
Step 2
Add mustard seeds and let them crackle and pop, about 30 seconds — you'll hear them bounce and pop.
Step 3
Add minced garlic and asafoetida, stir for 30 seconds until fragrant — don't let garlic brown.
Step 4
Add collard greens in handfuls, stirring to coat with oil and wilt as it hits the hot pan, 4–5 minutes total.
Step 5
Sprinkle chili powder over the greens, stir to combine, and cook for 1 more minute until leaves are fully tender.
Step 6
Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve hot, spooning the spiced oil over the top.
