\u2018Swiss chard<\/a>\u2019 is a nutritious vegetable of Mediterranean origin. I love this red leafy vegetable because of its resembling aroma and even taste exactly similar to that of the Kerala red spinach (cheera -\u0d1a\u0d40\u0d30) when prepared with coconut masala. I have the recipe here for the preparation of \u201cswiss chard\u201d with in the conventional Kerala method (\u0d1a\u0d40\u0d30 \u0d24\u0d4b\u0d30\u0d7b). Also worth to note that Swiss chard is one of those leaf categories, that recommended well boiling to free up oxalates and also avoid having it with calcium rich dishes.<\/p>\n
