I got three bunch of radish in $2 from the Sprouts Farmer's market. I was really excited about the great price. With a bunch that I had bought earlier I prepared Mooli ke patte ki Kadhi and Moong dal tadka with radish leaves as a secret ingredient. My husband loved those two dishes. So, with these 3 bunches I thought it would be a good idea to try the stir-fry version as the quantity of leaves I had with me was perfect for what the recipe calls for.

Radish leaves has anti-inflammatory properties and is know to reduce arthritis pain. It boasts the immune system and prevents diabetes and iron-deficiency. Such are the benefits of this much underrated greens. So, why not use it in the form you like the best rather than throwing it way.

This is definitely not a recipe anyone would be excited to try but I bet its super healthy. It complements best with dal fry/tadka, rice, roti and pickle. Scroll down for the procedure.
