HARBARA LEAVES SUBZI

Harbara is fresh green chick pea.  I never tried the subzi with the leaves till such time I saw recently with the vendor, the fresh green leaves.  I asked him how to make subzi out of it, he explained to me the recipe which I am sharing with you.

Leafy vegetables are always healthy.  Why should not we try the seasonal vegetables?
