Beet Greens Curry

Cooking a new Vegetable is really a risk when we don't know how it would taste.Thanks to the technology and  Internet there are so many links which help us know our veggies. I googled about the Beet Greens and then found out that the greens part of any vegetable has more nutrients than the vegetable itself. Having known this fact I try to buy vegetables along with the greens. And few experiments finally gave me a good result.. :) Just like this Greens of Beetroot... Here is the recipe.

Ingredients :

Beetroot greens along with the stalk.

Onion – 1

Tomato – 1

Green chillies – 2

Grated Coconut – 2tsp

Chickpeas- ¼ cup

Onion – 1tsp

Mustard seeds – 1tsp

Cumin seeds – 1tsp

Method : 

• Separate the green leaves from the stalk and don’t discard the stalks. Chop the leaves and the stalk and pressure cook it for 3 whistles.
• Soak the Chickpeas in water overnight and pressure cook it. Keep them ready.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a pan, crackle mustard seeds and then add cumin seeds. Add green chillies and fry them for a minute.
