Step-By-Step Preparation for Mooli Ke Patte Ki Sabzi

• Select and Prepare Radishes: Opt for small radishes with plenty of leaves, roughly six. Separate the radishes and their leaves after chopping.
• Cooking Base: Heat a generous amount of oil (about 3 tablespoons) in a pan, then add mustard seeds and hing (asafoetida). Optionally, onion and garlic can be added at this stage for extra flavor.
• Spicing it Up: Incorporate classic spices like turmeric powder, chili powder, and coriander powder, maintaining a low flame.
• Adding Radishes: Season with salt and introduce the white part of the chopped radishes. A splash of water can be added if preferred.
• Cooking the Radishes: Cover the pan and allow it to cook for about 5-7 minutes until the radishes are halfway done.
• Adding Greens: Introduce the radish leaves, adding a bit more water, and continue cooking covered on a medium flame for another 5-7 minutes.
• Final Touch with Besan: Once the leaves are tender, sprinkle besan (chickpea flour) over the mixture, mix well, and cover it again. Let it cook on the lowest flame for about 2 minutes.
• Serving Suggestion: Serve the sabzi hot, enhanced with a squeeze of fresh lime juice on top. It pairs excellently with Phulka Roti and ghee.
