2 tablespoons Homemade Ghee or sunflower oil, divided
4 medium carrots (cut into small circles)
2 yellow beets (scrubbed and cut into triangles or ½-inch cubes)
1 daikon radish (cut into half-moons)
1 bunch bitter dark greens (turnip, kale, collard or beet greens)
1-inch piece fresh turmeric, minced; or
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1-inch piece fresh ginger (minced)
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon ground coriander
Pinch of hing powder (asafoetida powder)
½ teaspoon Himalayan pink mineral salt
1 bunch fresh cilantro leaves (finely chopped)
Directions: 
In a wok or large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon ghee. Stir-fry carrots, beets and daikon pieces for 1 minute; then cover and cook for 5 minutes. Uncover, stir and test for tenderness. Cook up to another 5 minutes, if needed.
