MOOLI KI SUBZI
Today's recipe is called, "Mooli Ki Subzi" after the main ingredient radish - which is called Mooli in Hindi. In Kannada and my mother tongue, Konkani we call it Mullangi. This vegetable has numerous health benefits and is fairly easily available.
Elsewhere in this blog, you will find recipes for dishes made with radish, such as :-
This simple to make yet tasty stir fry has been adapted from the YouTube video " Mooli Ki Sabzi" by Chef Varun Inamdar of Rajshri Foods.
The number of green chillies used depends on your preference for spicy food. I have toned down the number of green chillies used to suit our taste.
I tried this out the other day and we loved it.
Ingredients:-
- Mooli / Radish, 2
- Green Chillies, 4-5
- Garlic Cloves, 8-10
- Onion, large- sized, 1
- Oil, 2 tsp
- Salt, to taste
Wash the radish thoroughly and snip off the two ends
Lightly peel the radish and chop them into cubes.
Chop the onion
Cut the green chillies into pieces
Using a mortar and pestle, roughly crush the green chillies
Likewise, lightly crush the garlic cloves retaining the skin. If you so prefer, you can peel the garlic before crushing.
Heat oil in a kadhai and on medium heat add the crushed green chillies then immediately add the crushed garlic cloves
Saute this till it gives off a good aroma
To this add the chopped onions and saute till they become translucent
Now add the radish cubes and mix well
Add salt to taste
Cook the radish on medium heat for 8-10 minutes stirring from time to time
Switch off the gas and transfer the Mooli Ki Subzi to a serving bowl
Serve as a side dish with the main meal
