They were fresh, with the leaves still on and quite small so I used up about 5 of them to make enough for the two of us. Cut radish is one of the prettiest vegetables I know. Such pretty design!

You may not know this but I have once been a hand model for an ad that featured in a Malayalam magazine called Vanitha. True story.

Snobs!

Heat the oil in a pan and add the mustard seeds. When they pop, add the sliced radish and shallow fry in low heat until almost-cooked. This will take about 10-12 mins. Adjust the amount of oil if the pieces seem to be burning or too dry. 2. Add sliced onion/shallots, garlic, chilli powder, coriander powder, jeera and amchur and stir well to coat the radish pieces for a min or two. Add salt. 3. Top off with the garam masala, give it a final stir before removing from fire. The pieces will be soft yet not too much and will hold their shape.
