Beetroot Greens Vepudu:
Beet Root Greens Poriyal. Beet Root Greens Stir-fry. Beet Root-Peanuts stir-fry.
My mommy adds peanuts to any bitter tasting greens like 'Moringha' or 'Radish Greens'. I pretty much used the same idea here! The leafy vegetable's saponins help to produce gastric juice in the body, which in turn renders good digestion! So including them in diet has become essential in today's high-protein and high-fat diet!I never seen beetroot greens hitting the market in India, its good to see them fresh at Amish place! Guess one could spot them in the regular farmers market as well!
Ingredients:
Beet Root Greens 1 bunch (chopped)
Peanuts 1 small cup (toasted & grated)
Garlic 5-7 cloves (with skin, crushed)
Dry red chili flakes 1-2 teaspoons
Salt
Mustard seeds 1/4 spoon
Oil few spoons.
Method:
In a wide wok, heat oil. Add mustard seeds and wait till they pop.
Add greens and salt. Cover and cook for few minutes. Maybe till the leaves wilt and reduce.
Now remove the lid and stir-fry over high for 2 minutes.
Once the moisture is gone, add chili flakes, garlic and grated nuts. Fry real good for another 2 minutes.
Serve warm to go with your plain steamed rice.
