or Jump to Recipe

1) Chop the beetroot leaves, also chop the stems. My beetroot stems are pretty thin and tender, so I chopped it without peeling it. But if yours are thick then you might need to peel it or remove those strings. You will feel and see those strings as you chop whether it needs to be peeled or not.

2) Wash them very well. I keep them in cold water in a bowl till I prepare other ingredients for this sabzi. By this time all the dirt will settle down at the bottom of the bowl. And then you can remove those leaves from the water with your hand. Alternately you can wash them before chopping.

3) Heat the oil in pan on medium heat. Once hot add cumin seeds and let them sizzle.

4) Then add chopped green chilies and ginger paste. Saute for 30 seconds.

5) Then add potatoes and beetroot leaves. Mix well.

6) Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder and salt.

7) Mix well.

8) Cover the pan and cook on medium heat. Stir once or twice in between to make sure that it is not sticking to the pan.

9) Cook till potatoes are cooked and tender. Potatoes should be soft but not mushy.

10) Finally add amchur and garam masala.

11) Mix well, switch off the gas and ready to serve.

Serving suggestion: Serve this sabzi with roti/phulka. Serve kachumber salad, choice of dal and rice to make a complete healthy meal. We like to have chaas on side too.
