Ingredients:
Radish with greens - 1 kg (approx. 3 large)
Spinach - 1 bunch
Besan - 1 cup
Oil - 2 tbsp
Ajwain (carom seeds) - 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp + 1/2 tsp
Asafoetida - a pinch
Coriander leaves, finely chopped - 1 cup
Red chili powder - 1 tsp
Cumin powder - 1 tsp
Coriander powder - 1 tsp
Salt - 1.5 tsp or to taste
Method:
Finely chop the radish greens and spinach. Soak in salted water for at least five minutes, then drain and set aside.
Peel the radish and chop into small pieces. Set aside.
Heat a pan and sift the besan into it when hot. Stir and cook for a few minutes until you smell the besan being cooked. Avoid browning. Set aside.
In a saucepan or wok, heat oil. Crush the ajwain with your hands and add to the oil. Add the asafoetida and half of the turmeric powder. Add the radish pieces and mix well to coat. Add the chopped coriander leaves and stir quickly. Add the greens and stir. Add salt to taste and mix again. If the mixture is very dry, add no more than 1/4 cup of water. Cook covered on a medium flame for 5-7 min or until the radish pieces are well cooked. At this point, the mixture should be relatively dry! Add the chili powder, remaining turmeric, and cumin and coriander powders. Add the besan and stir well to coat evenly. Cook for five more minutes on a low flame.
Garnish with juice from half a large lemon.
