Pair it with some phulkas / Rice and you are all set !!!
These days in Bangalore .. few vegetable vendors sell fresh tender radish. The sight of that fresh veggie would prompt anyone to buy it . Though i knew we can make variety of dishes from the radish greens … i had never tried them until recently . I would make some dal / parathas mixing the greens with something else. The radish leaves have strong pungent flavor.. so i hadnt attempted to make any dish using just them . But few days back … one of my friend in a watsapp group said she loves mooli bhujia and always make them using these winter greens. I quickly asked her the recipe and made sure that i too would try them soon . ” Hmm .. not bad ” was the comment that i got from the family in the first attempt . This was enough for me to add these mooli bhujia to my book so that i can make them whenever i get fresh radish leaves and serve my family a healthy side dish . You too give a try sometime and hope you like it ….here is the recipe …
If you want you can also check radish raita , radish paratha etc…
