Radish Curry

Description

I found this recipe at Giniann . I've only done it once and I must admit I rather cocked it up the first time. But even though I didn't do a good job with it because I was doing too many other things at the same time, it was still pretty good. I think this one has some merit. Othe people have added carrot or potato I might try that if I can manage to get the base recipe down.

Ingredients

• 1 bunch of radishes, 6-8
• 2-3 small cloves crushed garlic
• 8 small crushed green chilis
• a pinch of turmeric
• oil for saute
• a pinch of black mustard seeds
• salt to taste
• I'm sure I added more things, but I can't remember what

Method

1. clean the radishes and slice them as you would an apple
2. roll the radish tops together and slice into long shreds
3. In a medium pan, heat oil on medium heat
4. Add the mustard seeds and cook until they start to sputter.
5. Add crushed garlic and saute for 3-5 mintues until it starts to turn golden
6. Add the chilis and turmeric and saute for a minute or less
7. Add the radishes, mix well and add salt, cook covered for 3-4 minutes
8. Once the radishes have softened, remove the lid and saute on high heat for a couple minutes. This will give the radishes a soft but crunch texture.
9. Remove the radishes to a serving plate
10. Add the tops to the pan and quickly saute them for a few seconds and sprinkle over the top of the radishes.
11. For best results serve immediately, hot off the stove.
