NOTES : from book: In the Delhi region, many greens are cooked with

this simple seasoning of fresh ginger and chiles. If the beet greens

are young and small, you may leave them whole. They will also cook much

faster. The leaves I used here were large and mature, so they needed to

be cut into fine ribbons. The came off 3 bunches of large beets.
