Radish Greens or mooli ke patte is a winter ingredient in vegetable markets that is quite popular in kitchens, too. If you are wondering how to utilise these fresh greens and make some delicious delicacies, here are six easy options you can make at your home.
Radish Green Pesto
With a fresh, peppery flavour, it brings a unique twist to traditional pesto. The leaves blend seamlessly with garlic, nuts (like walnuts or almonds), Parmesan cheese, and a drizzle of olive oil to create a creamy yet slightly coarse texture. The result is a zesty, earthy pesto that’s perfect for tossing with pasta, spreading on toast, or using as a dip. This dish highlights the freshness of radish greens, making it both a healthy and flavourful alternative to classic pesto recipes.
Radish Green Dal
Made with radish leaves, lentils, and a blend of spices, it offers a delightful balance of earthy and spicy flavours. The tender radish greens add a mild, peppery taste that complements the creamy texture of cooked dal. To make this dish, you’ll need yellow lentils (moong dal or toor dal), radish leaves, onions, garlic, cumin, mustard seeds, turmeric, and red chilli powder. The spices infuse the dal with a rich, comforting aroma. This nutritious dish pairs wonderfully with roti or steamed rice.
