Spicy Radish Fry
Apr 19th, 2007 | By Sowjanya | Category: All Recipes, Sides & Stir Fry's, Veg - RecipesA delicious accompaniment that perks up any meal. Radish can be replaced with potatoes, plantain, taro root too. The final color and texture of this fry depends on how well you brown the onions. Add onions after the oil is hot. Stir the onions only occasionally. Make sure the radish is brushed well as we don’t peel of the skin for cooking this dish. Now lets jump to the recipe.
Ingredients
red radish – 6 (cut into 1/4 inch slices)
Onions – 2 medium (cut lengthwise)
Coriander leaves – 1 small bunch
Curry leaves – 1 sprig
Cumin seeds – 1/2 tsp

Crushed red pepper – 1 tbsp
Fennel seeds – 1/2 tbsp
Garlic – 3 cloves
Ginger – 1/2 tsp coarsely ground
Dried Red chillie – 1

1. Boil the radish slices for about 6-8 mts. Over boiling turns them mushy.

Sowjanya, I love your focus on andhra recipes, a lot of whom i have almost forgotten. I just have one suggestion…your blog doesnot display properly in firefox. It shows up fine in i.e. So, fix that when you have time.
