Radish Raitha | Mooli Raita | Moolangi Mosaru Gojju | Moolangi Pachadi

Radish, a root vegetable is packed with nutrients. This humble vegetable can be eaten raw or cooked. It can be pickled, used in salads, soups, chutneys and even raitha. For those on diet, radish is an excellent choice of vegetable. It keeps you full and cuts your hunger.


I had never tried a salad with radish/mooli until this recipe was given to me (courtesy: Bhavya/Nithin). I was sceptical initially but I was proved wrong. It tasted exceptionally good I had to share it. This recipe is simple and quick and has all the potential to be a whole meal in itself.

I know, radish does have a pungent odour which is a main reason for many to stay away from it. But when it can do wonders to our health and taste good, why not befriend it? It aids in digestion, boosts immunity while keeping you hydrated. What else are we asking this summer; Why not whip up a healthy salad and cool off that heat.

Steps:

Wash, peal and grate radish. Squeeze out excess water and keep aside. Blend together 1 tbsp of grated radish, mustard seeds, 1 green chilli till smooth. In a bowl add curd, salt and whisk till smooth. Mix grated radish, coriander and green chillies. Add the blended mixture to the curd and mix well.

Adjust salt. Finish with tempering.
