Mooli kePatte ki Bhurji

The other day when I went to Indian grocery store, I noticed these beautiful radishes or daikon as called in some countries. For the first time, they had their long lush leaves attached to them. Untouched. Green. Intact. Fresh.

I picked one Radish and plucked the leaves from it. Slowly, I repeated the same with at least 5-6 daikons. I promise I wasn’t stealing. If somebody was noticing, they must have thought I was a crazy woman, picking up leaves than the actual Radish.

After I finished my grocery shopping, I went to the check out counter. The lady actually gave these to me FREE. She didn’t charge me a penny for the leaves. Actually, she was happy to get rid of the leaves.

Many people are unaware of this traditional, rustic and easy dish from North India. Mooli ke Patte ki Bhurji is prepared in the winters since Mooli or Radish/Daikon is available in abundance in the season. Long White Radish has a very crispy bite and the taste is very peppery.

Few things to keep in mind before you prepare the recipe.

The raw Radish leaves have to be fresh and crisp. Do not pick the wilted and limpgreens.
Triple wash or wash it 4-5 times before preparingthe recipe. The leaves have quite a lot of mud since Radish is a Root Vegetable.
Wash the leaves in COLD RUNNING WATER.
Just a suggestion – the dish tastes awesome when cooked in mustard oil. Though You can use any oil to cook the recipe.

Here is the Easy and Simple Recipe to make Mooli kePatte ki Bhurji.

Health Benefits of Radish Leaves

Before I forget, I would like to mention that the Greens of Radish or Daikon or any greens are rich in nutrients like Iron, Calcium, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, and Phosphorus.The leaves are a good source of Dietary Fiber and great for Dental Health, Bone Health. These leaves are perfect for Diabetics.

I am hoping that next time when you are at Indian Store, you will keep an eye on the Daikon or Radish leaves and try it soon. Do send me the feedback if you try it. Would love to hear all about it.
