This zuNka is similar to the other ZuNka recipes I shared on this blog. However, the beet greens add a nice change to eyes and palette.Beet Greens ZuNka
Ingredients
1 bunch beet greens, shredded
salt to taste
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp sugar
1/3 cup besan/chickpea flour (or as needed)
1 tsp oil
Tempering
1 tbsp oil
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp asafoetida
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
Method
1. Heat oil in a heavy bottomed wok or kadai. Add mustard seeds, asafoetida and turmeric powder.
2. As they sizzle, add beet greens. Stir fry till they are wilted and cooked. You may need to sprinkle some water but do not put too much water.
3. Add salt, chili powder. Stir well. Now sprinkle some besan, a spoonful at a time. Add 1 tsp oil. Stir till besan appears cooked.
4. Cover and let it cook for 2 minutes. Switch off the gas. Serve with chapati.
Note -
1. More oil can be added if your diet permits. It adds better taste.

Oh, that looks good. I saw Beets last week at the grocery store, they were so tiny. Will wait for few weeks to buy. Great recipe.

Of course, I remember you. Nachni flour can be used for making bhakri, dosa. my MIL also makes golpapdi - sweet vadis with it.
I have blogged about EC's version of nachni dosa here

also, if you are familiar with thalipeeth, you can mix different flours and make thalipeeth or dhirde too. Good luck!:-)
