Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams white radishes
- 100 grams poppy seeds
- 2 tablespoons mustard oil
- 2 dried red chilies
- 1 teaspoon nigella seeds
- 2 green chilies
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 100 milliliters water
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves
Instructions
Begin by peeling the white radishes and cutting them into medium-sized cubes, similar in size to traditional potato cubes.
Soak the poppy seeds in a small bowl of water for about 10 minutes to soften them.
Drain the poppy seeds and blend them into a smooth paste with a little water. Set aside.
Heat the mustard oil in a pan over medium heat until hot.
Add the dried red chilies and nigella seeds to the hot oil. Sauté for a minute until the aromas are released.
Add the cubed radishes to the pan and stir well.
Slit the green chilies lengthwise and add them to the pan along with the turmeric powder and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Pour in the water. Cover and cook on a medium flame for about 15 minutes, or until the radishes are cooked and tender.
Once the radishes are cooked, add the poppy seed paste to the pan. Mix well with the radishes.
Cook uncovered for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the water evaporates and the radishes are well coated with the poppy seed paste.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve hot as a side dish.
