Radish was one of the favorite vegetable of my father. I used to hate it because of its pungent smell. My partner loves this particular veggie too. So for him, I sometimes cook radish and somehow, I started to like it (not love it though). The pungent smell still puts me off. So I understand if not a lot of people loves this particular vegetable. However, I have found several delicious recipes of this pungent yet tasty vegetable.

This recipe needs a very simple list of ingredients – mustard, green chili, turmeric, nijella seed, dried chili, salt, oil and bay leaves.

Heat a table spoon of oil in a pan and add mustard seed, nijella seed, two dried chili and a bay leaf.

Then add the sliced radishes and add pinch of turmeric powder. Mix them well.

Fry them a little bit.

Blend mustard and green chili and add the paste.

Keep stirring.

After 2 mins, its done.
