I'm always on a hunt to find some healthy food for the mid - day hunger pangs ;) . Cucumber slices dusted with chutney podi or pudina podi or any other podi on hand , is my regular solution.
But having run out of this regular fix , I found mooli instead .
So be it ! Necessity is the mother of all inventions , it is said. I conjured up this raitha with the mooli & trust me , it was quite satisfying & tasty too !
I have to mention that I used low fat curds & olive oil for tempering.
I guess , a similar preparation with grated carrot or cucumber would be good as well.
Any other quick - fix solutions for this condition are most welcome !
Ingredients
White radish - 1, grated
Curds - 4 tbsps, whipped lightly
Green chillies - 2 , finely chopped
Salt
Sugar - 1/2 tsp
Jeera powder - 1/2 tsp
For the tempering -
Oil - 1 tsp
Mustard, Jeera , curry leaves
Coriander - 1 tsp , for garnishing.
Method
Mix the grated radish with all the ingredients .
Temper the raitha & garnish with coriander .
Serve with paratas, Rotis etc.

i am always on the lookout for more dishes with mooli..this sounds great...and so cooling.
ReplyDeleteWow! sounds just yummy. But how do I counter the pungent taste of the radish? Do you directly add to the curds or do you stand them for a while?
ReplyDeleteYou'll be surprised to know that the strong flavor of the mooli is not at all felt in the raitha. It left me also wondering about this magic !
ReplyDeletewow, nice raita, a great change from the regular once..we could also try it with red radish for more color.
