Aloo Mooli ke Patte ki Sabzi (Potato with Radish Leaves)

aloo mooli patta sabzi

Aloo mooli ke patte ki sabzi or bhurji comes straight from my mom's kitchen. She cooks it really well. This dish can also be made without potatoes but then it will be slightly bitter to taste. Aloo absorbs the bitterness. I also add mooli pieces besides mooli ke patte in this recipe.
