Mooli ki Sabji | Mooli Bhurji | Easy Radish Recipe
An easy and quick recipe of mooli sabji that gets done within 20 minutes. This radish recipe is basically finely chopped radish spiced with carom seeds, green chillies and cooked in mustard oil.
2cups finely chopped radish or grated or chopped white radish with or without leaves (mooli or daikon)
saltas required
Instructions
Chopping Radish
Rinse and peel the radish. Either grate or chop the radish roots finely.
If the radish has tender leaves, then rinse the leaves and then chop them finely too.
Making mooli sabji
Heat the mustard oil till it becomes medium hot. Then lower the heat. Add the carom seeds and let them crackle.
Now add the green chiles and asafoetida and fry again for some seconds.
Add the chopped radish along with the leaves if using and salt as required. Stir and mix well.
Do not cover the pan. Let the mooli cook on a low to medium-low heat.
Keep on stirring in between. The radish and the greens will start to release their juices.
Keep on stirring the radish at intervals. The liquids will evaporate whilst the radish is getting cooked.
When the radish gets completely cooked, all the liquids are evaporated and the whole mooli sabji looks dry, then switch off the heat.
Serve mooli ki sabji hot or warm with soft phulka or chapati. You can also pair a side vegetable salad or a bowl of curd.
Notes
Use fresh, tender and juicy radish. Avoid using the rough and fibrous radish roots. If the leaves are tender then consider adding them to the recipe as they are very healthy.
I highly recommend making this radish recipe with mustard oil as the flavor are awesome. But if you don't have mustard oil then use any neutral tasting oil. Though the taste and the flavor will be different.
Add less chilies to make the muli sabzi less hot and spicy.
