Mooli Gandaa [Radish Meal]

Mooli in English refers to radish and everyplace i have been, no where have i found people using radish as a main course dish. Since i love "Mooli Ganda", i thought i should very well put it online for my reference and for anyone else who wants to experiment with their taste buds. I became familiar with it from my Amma and i used to crave for it to be made.

Ingredients:

• Radish [slender ones preferably]

• Dried red chillies/fresh green chillies

• Dhania [Coriander Seeds]

• Salt

• Haldi [Turmeric]

• Red Chilli Powder

• Oil [Olive/Canola/Mustard/Vegetable]

Procedure:

1. Grate the radish and keep it in a drainer to get rid of all the juice. You can employ any method to get rid of the water.

2. Heat oil in a wide [preferably] pan.

3. Once hot add broken pieces of dried red chilies or cut green chilies.

4. Add coriander seeds too.

5. Wait for the mixture to roast a little and then add grated radish to it.

6. Add salt, turmeric and red chili powder to it.

7. Mix all the ingredients well and let it cook.
