Vegetable Recipe: Greens With Carrots and Potatoes

Easy, Mildly Spiced Indian Vegetables, Hearty & Satisfying

Greens, Potatoes & Carrots: This easy, mildly spiced vegetable recipe is one of our favorite ways to eat greens.

This is a hearty filling dish, full of flavor, very satisfying on winter days. Thanks to our friend Sabine for the introduction!

The secret to a perfect texture is to remove the lid and reduce the water in cooking so the mixture just begins to stick, resist stirring, and don't leave the room and get absorbed in something else when it's getting close to done!
