Cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occaisionally, until the greens are wilted and tender. When the greens are done cooking, they should be dark green. Keep the lid on the pot and set aside. In a small saucepan heat 1 tsp oil or butter until almost smoking at medium high heat. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. They will pop and sizzle. turn heat to medium. Add green chili pepper and crushed garlic and fry until lightly browned. Optional: add 1/8 teaspoon red chili pepper. Pour mixture over greens. Add remaining salt (1/2 tsp) to taste. Serve with a dash of lime juice (brings out the flavor of the greens).
