About the Recipe

Here I am today with a super easy recipe from North Indian Cuisine, Mooli Ke Patte Ki Bhurji.

'Bhurji' is a Hindi word meaning Subzi or dry vegetable. Mooli Radish and here in this recipe Daikon Radish is used which is a winter vegetable available in Indian Subcontinent.

This is a simple stir fry, with Daikon Radish leaves that is so easy and simple to make. I make it without onion  and garlic but you can always add the ingredients as per your preferences. Many people only eat radish in salads  or use it in curries and throw away the leaves. It is a very popular winter dish  in North India especially in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Punjab.

As a kid I never liked this stir fry and always had it making a face. Mom always told us that how nutritious is this veggie and how we should have the seasonal vegetable. She served me and my sis with Dal Rice combo. Slowly and gradually we developed a taste for it.

Very healthy, low oil, gluten-free and vegan stir fry that is a good detox vegetable, rich in iron , minerals and iron.

Benefits of Mooli / Radish

Mooli or Radish is a good source of antioxidants, known for it's stomach and liver detoxifying properties.

It is known to be very beneficial in Jaundice, as it can get rid of excess of Bilirubin in blood. I had suffered Jaundice in my teenage and I remember my mom feeding Radish in salads, mooli ki bhurji and mooli stuffed rotis.  It is a very beneficial vegetable to lower the cholesterol, lower blood pressure and is loaded with Vit. C, folic acid and is known to increase the supply of oxygen to blood.

Detailed ingredients and method in recipe card

To make this simple stir-fry, choose Daikon Radish with fresh green and crisp leaves. Chose leaves with no spots or discoloration leaves.

There are no special spices used in the recipe. The real rustic flavour comes by stir frying radish leaves in tempering of cumin seeds and caraway seeds. We make it without any onions and garlic and no other spices like garam masala.

You may add 2-3 garlic and a small ginger also as per your liking. Also, many people add finely chopped tomatoes but we skip this also.

There are two ways in which you can cook radish leaves. Many people boil/pressure cook radish leaves , drain the water and then cook it in tempering.

The other way is to directly cook the leaves without prior boiling. I cook this way and covering this method in this post.

Serving Suggestions

This is a light and healthy side dish, which you can make for your everyday lunch/dinner. Serve it with Dal Rice. It also goes well with Ajwain parathas and pooris. I also like it with ghee chapati and plain curd with cumin powder. It is one of of my go to meals when I am not in a mood to cook something elaborate. Simple, healthy and delicious!
