MULO SAAG BHAJA / RADISH GREEN FRY

This is a traditional Bengali dish, eaten as a second course in Bengali lunch. I always save these greens and make it into a simple dish. A nutty touch makes it simply delicious.
INGREDIENTS:
3 cup chopped Radish Leaves
1/3 cup finely chopped Radish
1/2 tsp Nigella seeds (kalonji)
1 Whole Dry Red Chillies
2 pods of crushed Garlic
!/2 tsp Turmeric powder
1 tbsp roasted sliced Peanuts
2 tbsps Oil
Salt to taste

METHOD:
Wash the radish leaves very nicely. Make it pat dry.

Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds in it. When it starts to splutter, add crushed garlic and crushed dry red chilli in it. Saute for 40 seconds. Add chopped radish in it. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.

Now add chopped radish leaves, turmeric powder and salt in it. Cover and cook for 12-15 minutes on medium heat. Stir occasionally.

Maximum water from this leave evaporates and the leaves changed its colour, add roasted peanuts in it. Dry up all the water.

Serve with hot steamed rice or roti.
