Ingredients

5 cups Chopped Red Radish
2 tsps Oil
2 tsps Mustard Seeds
1 tsp Urad dal
1 tsp Channa dal
½ tsp Hing
4 Dried Red Chilies
Curry leaves a few
2 tsps Salt
3 tbsps Water – 3 to 4 tbsps or 4
⅓ cup Grated Coconut

Instructions

Prep Work

Wash the red radish and chop them into small cubes.
Break the red chilies and set aside.

Steps

Heat the kadai and add oil.
Once the oil is hot, add mustard seeds, urad dal and channa dal.
As they start to splutter, add the broken red chilies, hing and curry leaves.
Fry for a minute and then add the chopped red radish.
Add salt and mix well.
Now sprinkle 3 tbsps of water and cover and cook for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes remove the lid and the radish skin would have turned pink by now.
Now cook until all the water evaporates and once the water is all evaporated add the grated coconut and mix well.
Cook for another two minutes and that’s it, the curry is ready.

Notes

Adjust red chilies as per your preference. Green chilies can be used too, or you can skip chilies and add about 1 tsp of sambar powder or red chilli powder for spice.
Adjust salt as per your taste.
Red radish gets cooked faster, so do not cover and cook more than 7 minutes
