Radish Raita

Radish Raita is a very popular dish in Maharashtrian cuisine. It is called  ' Mulyachi Koshimbir ' in Marathi. I learnt it from a Maharashtrian friend of mine back in India. So let me pass on her recipe to my readers :)

Ingredients :
  • Red Radish - 10-12 small
  • Yogurt - 1 1/2 cup
  • Chopped Cilantro - 2-3 tbsp
  • Salt - to taste
  • Oil - 1 tsp
  • Mustard Seeds - 1/4 tsp
  • Green Chillies - 2 or to taste
Directions :
  • Wash and grate radish and let it stand for 5 minutes.
  • Squeeze the water from the grated radish. Do not throw away the water you squeezed out. Save it. I use that water for making the chapati dough.
  • Beat the curd till smooth. Add salt and chopped cilantro. Mix well.
  • Add the grated radish to the curd and mix well.
  • Heat oil in a small pan, splutter mustard seeds. Add chopped green chillies.
  • Pour this over the curd and give it a slight mix.
  • Serve this with any paratha or chapati.
Variation:   You can make it with white radish ( daikon ) instead of red ones.
