Beetroot Leave Subzi

I harvested some fresh Beetroot from my terrace farm for making a Rayata to go along with Aloo Parantha. Before, I get to my main menu of the day, I thought let me make use of these healthy leaves first and I decided to convert these into a subzi.

Chopped leaves and Onion

Washed leaves nicely and chop, including the stems. Along with that chopped one medium size Onion as well. Now we are ready to cook this delicious subzi.

Tadka and Onion frying

Non-stick cooking pan on slow fire, add one table spoon of cooking oil, add a tea spoon of Zeera and pinch of Hing. Now add only the chopped Onions and fry till Onions are golden fry.

Now add chopped leaves, one chopped medium size Tomato and add salt to taste, one chopped green Chilly ( I never use red chilly powder), one tea spoon of Dhaniya Powder. That’s it! Stir the whole thing properly and cover the lid on the pan and leave it to cook on slow fire itself. No need to add any additional water since leaves have their own stock.

Ready to serve

This is one of the simplest method of cooking green leaves of all types. This works very well with Radish Leaves and Mustard Leaves as well.

Beet greens are nutritious as they are rich in Vitamin K, copper, manganese, iron and calcium, but they are great for maintaining a healthy weight, as they contain zero saturated fat and cholesterol – Goggle search
