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
Directions
Step 1
Begin by peeling the white radishes and cutting them into medium-sized cubes, similar in size to traditional potato cubes.
Step 2
Soak the poppy seeds in a small bowl of water for about 10 minutes to soften them.
Step 3
Drain the poppy seeds and blend them into a smooth paste with a little water. Set aside.
Step 4
Heat the mustard oil in a pan over medium heat until hot.
Step 5
Add the dried red chilies and nigella seeds to the hot oil. Sauté for a minute until the aromas are released.
Step 6
Add the cubed radishes to the pan and stir well.
Step 7
Slit the green chilies lengthwise and add them to the pan along with the turmeric powder and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Step 8
Pour in the water. Cover and cook on a medium flame for about 15 minutes, or until the radishes are cooked and tender.
Step 9
Once the radishes are cooked, add the poppy seed paste to the pan. Mix well with the radishes.
Step 10
Cook uncovered for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the water evaporates and the radishes are well coated with the poppy seed paste.
Step 11
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve hot as a side dish.
