Simple Potato-Radish Stir-fry



When I am not in a mood to cook elaborate meals, I go for simple menu like a simple stir-fry, Rasam etc. This is one such simple curry that can be done in a jiffy. It tastes super-delicious too! I used small red radishes for this curry.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Potato, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 cup red Radishes, finely chopped (No need to peel)
  • ½ tsp red Chili Powder
  • Few Curry Leaves
  • A pinch of Turmeric Powder
For Tempering/Seasoning:

  • ½ tsp Mustard Seeds
  • ¼ tsp Cumin Seeds
  • ¼ tsp Bengal Gram (Pachi Senaga Pappu, Chana Dal)
  • ¼ tsp Black Gram (Minapappu, Urad Dal)
  • 1 tsp Oil


Preparation:

Heat oil in a non-stick pan and add mustard seeds. When they start to splutter, add cumin seeds along with both the dals and fry till the dals turn golden brown in color.

Add the chopped veggies to this along with the curry leaves and fry well. Add chili powder + turmeric + salt and mix well.

Cover and keep the flame on medium-low setting. After some time remove the cover and stir the contents well. Sprinkle little water on the curry if needed.

Check for doneness and turn off the flame. That’s all; the curry is ready to be eaten.

Enjoy this delicious curry with steaming hot rice and rasam. Yummy!!
