Gajar/Chukandar/Palak ki Pattiyan aur Paneer Ki Sabzi - गाजर/चुकंदर/पालक की पत्तियां और पनीर की सब्जी (Carrot/Beet/Spinach Leaves and Paneer Curry)

Hello friends,


I am so happy with the way my new vegetable patch is coming along. Of course, I have made a few blunders, which I am sure happen with newbies. Here is a curry that I am presenting made with different green leaves from my own garden. Isn't that great..lol :)






Here is a pic of all the leaves before being cooked. I am sure you can guess which is what, right? There is spinach, beetroot leaves and carrot leaves.

Priya - love your fresh from the garden leaves! Nothing better than that - beats even farmers' market finds. This is a labor of love and you've made a wonderful dish with that - I always throw away the carrot leaves - not anymore. will save it up and make your recipe with it!
