Moolo Shaak or Greens of the Radish

Those of you who know how to cook this probably would laugh at me for posting such a recipe. It is extremely easy to cook.
Let me tell you a little about me here.
I love "shaak". I am this zodiac-sign-freak and being a Capricorn, that I am, call myself a goat for my affinity towards fresh green "shaak" or "saag". My favorite being kopi'r shaak or cauliflower leaves. My father one day went shopping and found a man selling cauliflower. He went and asked him whether he was willing to sell the leaves only.
To which, the shopkeeper replied - "Babu, the customers refuse to buy the cauliflowers along with the leaves because it increases the real weight of the veggie, so I have separated them and kept all of it aside. Very few people come for buying it and it is mostly the cows who eat it".
My father has a great sense of humor, he smiled and said, "My daughter also eats it".

I heard this from my mother who accompanied my dad to the market that day, she told me, "everybody smiled and the shopkeeper himself got up from his seat, found a bag and put in a lot of the green cauliflower leaves for you".
