How to make Mooli Ki Sabzi- Mooli Ki Subzi- Mulyachi Bhaji

February 4, 2019 by Pranay Singh 2 Comments

Mooli Ki Subzi

Mooli Ki Sabzi is a simple veg preparation that combines radishes (Mooli) with its green. I am making it the way it is made in a typical Konkani household which means a generous amount of coconut gets added when we finish the dish.  This stir fried unfussy dish is best to have when you are on diet-conscious regime and can eat it with Phulkas or Bhakris.

Few weeks ago, we received a comment on our YouTube Channel from one of our viewer who asked us if we could make green leafy veg preparations on our channel. Being a winter here in India, it was a valid suggestion. In India, during winters, besides the obvious and popular dishes that are made in this season like Matar ka Nimona (Spicy Gravy prepared from Green Peas), Kachalu (Made using Potatoes), Matar ki Tahari (Rice, green peas and Lentil preparation), Urad Dal ki Khasta Kachori, Matar Pulao and not to forget Gajar Ka Halwa (Dessert prepared with Carrot) etc., some less popular dishes are also made.

I am referring to green and leafy vegetables that flood the vegetable market during this season and which despite being high in nutrition are less preferred. One possible reason for this aberration could be it being low on taste quotient when compared with some of the winter recipes previously stated.

Mooli Ki Sabzi or commonly known as Mulyachi Bhaji in Marathi is a simple, stir-fried veg preparation that not only has Mooli (Daikon Radish) as a primary ingredient but also adds its nutritious leaves in the preparation. While in some of the preparations made with Mooli the greens get discarded, Mooli Ki Sabzi is a wholesome highly nutritious preparation that combines the edible root with its greens. These greens contain high quantities of Vitamin C, potassium, Vitamin A, Manganese and also offer calcium, iron, fiber and Vitamin E (link )

Mooli Ki Subzi

Mooli is identified by several different names in the global cuisine. Known by different names Chinese radish, Asian radish, Oriental Radish, White Radish, it is more commonly identified as Daikon Radish. Daikon is made of two distinct Japanese words- Dai- Large and Kon-root, which refers to its large root appearance with its roots ranging from 2-4 inches in diameter and 6-20 inches in lengths.

Daikon Radishes are one of the four main types of radishes (derived from Latin word “radix” refers to “root”), according to time of harvest-summer, fall, winter and spring. Daikon Radish or Mooli are typically harvested in winter (link ).

In its base country Japan, Daikon Radish is identified as one of the most popular vegetable and is included in several recipes in many forms- raw, pickled, as sprouts and dried and simmered.

In India too, we not only gave it a new name, but it features prominently in several Indian dishes- Mooli Ka soup, Mooli Ka Paratha, Mooli combined with meat (in Kashmiri preparations), Mooli Ka raita, Mooli Ki Chutney, Mooli Ka Achaar and the recipe for today’s blog-  Mooli Ki Sabzi.

Mooli Ki Sabzi is a simple veg preparation that combines radishes (Mooli) with its green. I am making it the way it is made in a typical Konkani household which means a generous amount of coconut gets added when we finish the dish.  This stir fried unfussy dish is best to have when you are on diet-conscious regime and can eat it with Phulkas or Bhakris.

Make this simple yet delicious veg preparation that pairs up so very well with phulkas and can form your quick-fix weekend lunch. Share your feedback with us in comments section below.
