MOONGRE KI SABZI

I was in a fix when a friend sent me some moongres from her farm – my husband was overjoyed, but since I had never cooked them, I promptly got down to calling my friends for recipes and checking on the internet.  However the end result was very encouraging!! A must try!

 

Ingredients

250 gms moongre / radish pods

1 large potato, diced

1 tsp turmeric powder

1/2 tsp red chili powder

1/4 tsp garam masala powder

1 tsp amchur powder/dry mango powder

2 to 3 tbsp mustard oil or sunflower oil

Salt to taste

Wash the moongre and chop them in 2 or 3 inch pieces. Rinse them in running water 3-4 times.

Heat mustard oil in a pan. Add the potatoes and sauté for 3-4 mins. on a medium flame.

Add the chopped radish pods. Add the turmeric powder, red chili powder and salt.

Stir the vegetables and spices and saute again for 3-4 minutes.

Cover and cook the vegetables for 20-25 minutes on a low flame. Remember to check the vegetables and stir them in between.

Once both the vegetables are cooked, add the garam masala powder and dry mango powder. Stir these two spice powders with the vegetables.

Aloo moongre ki sabzi is best served with rotis and a bowl of curd.
