hi ......i am first time here...nice space......yes these leaves are good to eat........make dry stir fry ( bhurji) or stuffed paratha with it.they taste somewhat like radish leaves.
It's a turnip and those are turnip greens. They use a term here "cooked down" because they ae tough. You saute them and then put a lid on the pan to cook them until the are very soft.
As asha said leaves are gud to eat.i prepared radish leaf sabji.It is tasty if you wish to try this leaf u see my method .it is really a very healthy recipe. http://jaisrecepieblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Radish%20leaf%20sabji
Turnip leaves are very delicious. I live in the deep south in the USA and they are a staple in our diet here. However we don't saute' them. We cut the turnips off first and wash and cut them up. Place them in a pot of boiling water with some sort of smoked meat. (smoked turkey or pork is what we use in the south.)Turn heat down to medium and cover. Trim the stems from the leaves and wash them thoroughly and check the leaves for any foreign objects (ie insects) cut the the leaves up and drop into the pot with the roots. Continue to cook, stirring occasionly. About an hour probably. Until you can cut without much effort. I like to chop them with a hand held food chopper after I place them in the bowl. What we call "soul food" herre in the southernmost part of USA
Hi Vidhya. This is geetha aunty here. I have seen some leaves. It looks like turnip leaves. If this is so, u can cook like our usual Keerai sundal. I will write about it in my new blog site at http://kitcheninmyhome.blogspot.com It will not give a bitter teaste. If u think so, u can add a little bit of sugar after the leaf is cook. Thats how we cook agathi keerai. Nice to see your recipe blog. U can also send comments about my recipe.

Of course you can! I use Turnip leaves and Radish leaves in cooking as well. Make sure you wash them very well, no sand needed in our diet! :D

If you are a vegen. You can buy liquid smoke and use just a little for taste. That is the only reason to use the smoked meat is for flavor
