Mooli Ka Saag

Last Updated on

In
winter, we can easily get fresh and seasonal radish… sweet and soft in taste.
So we can prepare so many recipes with seasonal radish i.e. mooli ka paratha,
mooli ka saag, achaar and more. This time I choose “Mooli Ka Saag” for blogging
marathon under seasonal food theme.

Under
this recipe, we used radish with leaves… in season we get little soft leaves
which easily used in curry and vegetables. First chop the radish and leaves, boil
leaves and keep aside with salt for sometimes to removing bitterness from the
leaves. Cook with spices till to tender and soft and serve with Indian bread.
Radish leaves are sometimes used in recipes, like
potato soup or as a sauteed side dish. They are also found to benefit homemade
juices; some recipes even calling for them in fruit based mixtures. Radishes
are rich in ascorbic acid, folic acid, and potassium. They are a
good source of vitamin B6, riboflavin, magnesium, copper,
and calcium.

One cup of sliced red radish bulbs provides approx.
20 cal,
largely from carbohydrates.
