Potato and Turnip Greens



This is the curry made of turnip greens( leaves ) and potatoes.
Turnips are called as shalgam in hindi. The leaves of which are rich in Vitamin A, C , K and calcium. Hence, a very healthy vegetable.

Ingredients:

  • Turnip Greens ( Leaves ) - 1 bunch
  • Potatoes - 3
  • Onions - 1 medium
  • Ginger-Garlic Paste - 1 tsp
  • Mustard Seeds - 1/2 tsp
  • Cumin Seeds - 1/2 tsp
  • Asafoestida - a pinch
  • Red Whole Chili or Green Chili - 2 or to taste
  • Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tsp
  • Coriander Powder - 1/2 tsp
  • Amchoor ( Dry Mango Powder ) - 1/2 tsp
  • Salt - to taste
  • Garam Masala - 1/2 tsp or to taste ( Optional )
  • Butter - 2 tbsp

Directions:

  • Wash and peel Potatoes, dice them, keep aside.
  • Wash and chop the tunip greens, keep aside.
  • For slightly quickening the cooking process, I prefer to half cook potatoes and turnip greens in microwave. Put them both in a microwave safe bowl and cook for around 4-5 minutes or till they are half cooked. ( Optional step )
  • Heat butter in a pan, add mustard and cumin seeds, let them splutter. Add Chillies , hing.
  • Add chopped onions and ginger-garlic paste. Saute till onions turn brownish.
  • Add coriander powder, amchoor powder and turmeric powder.
  • Add the potatoes and turnip greens. Add salt. Cook Covered, so that they get cooked in some moisture.
  • It will take slightly longer if they are not microwaved before. Keep stirring ocassionally.
  • Add garam masala when the curry is almost cooked.
  • Cook for another couple of minutes and turn off the flame.
  • Goes extremely well with chapati.
