Ingredients Serving: 3

About 3 cups of young radishes + their greens, chopped finely

Jaggery powder, to taste
Red chilli powder, to taste
Gram flour (besan), about 1/2 cup
2 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon mustard
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
A pinch of asafoetida

Instructions

Dry roast the gram flour on medium flame till it turns slightly brown and begins to emit a lovely fragrance. Ensure that it doesn't burn. When done, transfer to a plate and keep aside.
Now, heat the oil in a pan. Add in the mustard, and allow to pop. Add in the asafoetida, and let it stay in for a couple of seconds.
Add in the chopped radish and the greens. Cook, covered, on low-medium flame till the radish and the greens get tender.
Add salt, jaggery powder and red chilli powder to taste, along with the turmeric powder. Mix well.
Cook on low-medium flame for a couple more minutes, or till the radish and the greens are fully cooked. This should take 6-7 minutes.
Now, add the roasted gram flour to the pan. Mix well. Cook on low-medium flame, uncovered, till all the ingredients are well integrated together. This should take 3-4 minutes.
Switch off gas. Serve with rotis and daal tadka or kadhi.
