Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Radishes
- 100 grams Fresh fenugreek leaves (methi)
- 2 tablespoons Ghee
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 piece Green chili
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Thoroughly wash the radishes and cut them into small cubes. Set aside.
Wash the fenugreek leaves in water, drain, and chop them coarsely. Keep aside.
Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the green chili. Set aside.
Heat the ghee in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add cumin seeds to the hot ghee and allow them to sizzle and become fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the minced garlic and chopped green chili to the pan. Saute for 1 minute until the garlic becomes golden brown.
Add the radish cubes to the pan and stir well.
Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt over the radishes. Mix to combine evenly.
Cover the pan with a lid and let the radishes cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they become tender.
Once the radishes are cooked, add the chopped fenugreek leaves and stir everything together.
Cook uncovered for an additional 5 minutes, letting the fenugreek leaves wilt and meld with the radishes.
Turn off the heat and drizzle lemon juice over the cooked dish, stirring well to mix.
Garnish with chopped cilantro if using, and serve hot.
