Cook for 10-15 minutes until the greens are tender.

Drain the greens and let them cool slightly.

In a blender, puree the cooked greens until smooth.

Heat ghee in a pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in minced ginger, garlic, and green chili; cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Add the pureed greens to the onion mixture and stir well to combine.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Sprinkle maize flour over the mixture and stir to thicken, cooking for another 5 minutes.

Add a splash of water if the mixture is too thick.

Finish with a drizzle of butter on top before serving.
