MOOLI KI SUBZI

 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 :- 

• Mullangi Sambar 
• Mulangi Batate Sukke
• Mullangi Kosambari 
• Mooli Parantha

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

Method:-

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
