Dau miu theplas (An Indian flat-bread with Chinese greens)

As I mentioned in my previous post here, I am trying out new ingredients and new methods of including local and fresh ingredients in my daily cooking. Dau miu greens are available cheaply in Singapore and can be used in Indian home cooking too. I used them to make a Japanese condiment which I posted before. Here, I will post a recipe of how I used them to make a flat-bread traditionally made with fenugreek green leaves. The fragrance and flavor or dau miu is lighter than fenugreek, but a bit similar.... to make "theplas" .... I feel the easiest way to make the "greens" enjoyable for kids is through a flat-bread. The green color makes it look very pretty and as you chop, mince it finely to mix with the dough you hardly can "see" it as a vegetable.... :) My facebook friend Hemali, shared the recipe !
