MOOLI KI SABZI / GRATED RADISH STIR-FRY

This is really an amazingly delicious side dish made with grated radish and the greens. I first tasted this at a  friend's place and really liked it very much  In this preparation we use the radish greens along with the grated radish but since here in Brazil we rarely find a one with the green part which is usually chopped off. So I have used the spinach and coriander leaves instead. I served it desi style with bajre ki roti and it was super delicious.

Recipe Courtesy - Shubha Dixit.

Ingredients:

Radish ... 1 large (grated)

Spinach .. 1 cup (finely chopped)
