More often than not, we throw away nutritional leaves or stems that we buy with the vegetables. Radish leaves, beet greens, peels of vegetables etc all get thrown away. Ensure you always use organic vegetables so you can actually use these tender leaves and stems. This aloo mooli saag is a great way of using tender and fresh radish leaves.
Aloo Mooli saag serves as a side dish with roti/phulka. I had served aloo mooli saag with red rice akki roti. With some simple spice powders like lal mirch, amchur powder you can make a quick and simple sabzi to go on the side. You can choose to parboil the potatoes and then dice them which will hasten the cooking process.
Radish leaves are rich in minerals and dietary fibre making it an excellent ingredient to consume and not just throw it away. The leaves should be tender and should not have white spots. Try more sabzi recipes from FOI, aloo jeera, aloo palak, gobhi matar. More recipes where we use the part of a vegetable which we generally discard, methi stalks chutney, heerekayi sippe chutney etc.
