"Swiss chard is a versatile vegetable with high nutritional value and a nice alternative to bok choi, water spinach or kailan. Belachan is a dried shrimp paste native to Singapore and Malaysia and can be substituted with fish sauce if not available. We have this dish usually as a side along with rice, curry and parippu as it fits well with Srilankan cuisine."
