Radish Curry

I saw this recipe on the net and wanted to try it for quite sometime. Radish always ends up in sambar for me. So never bothered to try this unless the “right” time came.

1 medium radish, peeled, finely chopped
Radish greens, washed and finely chopped (Just pick the leaves and trash the stem)
1/4 cup moong dal, washed, soaked, cooked until half done (Do not cook it mushy. We want it to be crunchy)
1 tsp oil
1/2 tsp each of mustard seeds, urad dal
Pinch of hing
Pinch of turmeric
4 dry red chilli
2 tbsp grated coconut
1 tsp lemon juice (optional)

Method:
1. Add oil to the pan and when hot add mustard seeds and allow to crack. Then add urad dal, hing, red chilli and fry for a minute.
2. Add the radish greens and saute until it wilts out.
3. Then add radish, turmeric, salt and cook covered for about 5 minutes.
4. Add moong dal and mix well. Cover and cook on medium flame for another 5 minutes.
5. Garnish with coconut and lemon juice. Serve with roti or rice.
