Radish Subzi

Since the day I fell in love with radish, I have started getting them home and experimenting with them in various ways. I was looking out for radish with leaves. Most of the grocery stores in Bangalore only sell the radish by discarding the leaves. I was on a hunt for radish with leaves. One fine day I spotted radish with leaves with the guy who moves door-to-door selling veges in the morning. I was thrilled and grabbed some of those and made a tasty dish. To know how I prepared the radish sabji with its leaves read below.




Ingredients:
2 Radish with leaves
1 tablespoon toor dal
1 onion
1 tspn mustard seeds
1tspn corriander powder
1/2 tsn asafoetida
1 tspn turmeric
1 tspn chilli powder
2 tablespoon grated coconut
1 tspn jaggery

Procedure:
Clean the radish.
Chop radish leaves and the tender stem. Peel radish.
Cut radish into small pieces.

In a kadai, heat oil. Add mustard seeds. When they splutter, add asafoetida and finely chopped onions.
You can cover the kadai for 5 mins till onions turn pinkish.
Now add toor dal and radish and add 1 cup water.
Let it boil.
Add the radish leaves and mix well.
Add more water if required.
After it gets cooked, add corriander, turmeric and chilly powder.
