Beet Greens with zucchini


So I tried a cutlet with the beets but what to do with the greens left with roots.The leaf and the stalk look  so much like normal greens.I have heard people telling that they cook poriyal/thoran with the greens of radish or turnip.It makes good combination with dal also.Till now I haven't tried.So I thought of trying with the greens of the beet and I tell you that it tasted so good and was similar to red Swiss.And I had a half zucchini left, so I added it at the end. And the dish turned out to be good.!Take care to wash it well because lots of mud will be sticking to these greens.
