BEET GREENS MEDLEY

My husband purchaged beet roots from the grocery with lots of fresh beet greens. Generally, those beet greens go straight way from grocery bag to trash bag, but I thought not to waste, would love to make by it something new with traditional Bengali touch. I punch it other few vegetables and it gave an absolutely delicious side dish. Try and enjoy this simple but delectable beet greens medley.
