Radish is a vegetable that I used to runaway from. Aayi would be surprised when she finds out this is a vegetable I almost always pickup these days. I use it in simple side dishes, sambars and in dals. This time, I wanted to be a little more adventurous. I got this idea of using a pickle masala for radishes and immediately gave it a try. The dish came out delicious.
Ingredients:
2 cups chopped radish(mulangi)
1 tea spn chana dal
1 tea spn + 1/2 tea spn mustard seeds
1/4 tea spn methi (fenugreek) seeds
A pinch asafoetida
1/2 tea spn tamarind extract
1 tea spn red chilli powder
5-6 curry leaves
Oil
Salt
Method:
Heat oil and add chana dal, 1 tea spn mustard seeds, methi seeds, asafoetida. Coarsely powder it (if there are some pieces remaining in powder, it is okay).
Heat oil, add mustard seeds. When they start popping, add curry leaves, radish, salt and a little water. When the pieces are almost half cooked, add chilli powder, the prepared powder, tamarind and mix well. Cook till radish is done and all water is absorbed.
Serve hot as a side dish with rice or chapati.
Serves : 2-3
Preparation time : 20mins
hi shilpa…..that dish looks really yummy!
will definitely try it soon….but when should u add that powder which u prepared?pls clarify!!
Thanks. Updated.
looks yummy!! cant wait to try it out.
Nice recipe shilpa. I love radish too. Will surely try this one. When do you add the powdered masala–at the end when radishes are half cooked?
Thanks for lovely recipes. Keep it up.
I’ve never made radish sabzi this way..seems interesting..
Happy 2010 Shilpa. Wish you the best in everything you do. Lovely looking Radish dish, love Mulangis! :))
Oh! I hear you Shilpa. I never liked mulangi either! Now, I love it..things change, we change and life changes!
looks delicious,..
wow! i liked it very much. by the way may i ask u that can i use vinegar instead of tamarind juice? as both acts as sharpner and perservative. pls advice me.
I haven’t tried it. I am not a big fan of vinegar, so I hardly use it. You can give it a try.
Hi Shilpa
Many times i’ve visited your site and tried many recipes, this one looks good,never made anything out of raddish only used in salads.
Please whenever you can try to visit my blog http:/joyofcooking247@blogspot.com
Thanks
Cheers
That reminds me, i have two of them in refrigerator. Can try this pickle.
I have never cooked radish in this way looks interesting.
Oooh! I like these nonche-esque dishes! 🙂 This is my first time seeing radish in such a dish- nice one! I love radishes…what type did you use?
I wouldn’t use vinegar either…lime juice would be better if no tamarind is to be had.
I used the small red ones.
Shilpa,
Very colorful. I also make mulangi subji but I use tomatoes and sArina PuDi.
Hi Shilpa,
Honestly, This is a great site!.. I keep coming back to it whenever I want to try something new .. Thanks for giving it to us!.. Want to try this Radish out!( I hated Radish too !)
U should try Grating Radish and make a Talasani, using Lots of Crushed Garlic and Chilli Powder. It is quick and easy and tastes Heavenly)
