    Radish Chickpeas Curry

    The inspiration for this recipe is Veggie/Fruit a month event announcement for this month. Along with the announcement, Vanessa had posted a recipe for radish with chickpeas and pumpkin. I don't cook radish that much and the only time I buy radish is when I want to add it to my pappu charu. These days my fridge is stocked up with radish as we have been eating very healthy food; broccoli, radish, beetroot, carrot and lots of fish. Our dinner for the last 2 Β½ weeks was grilled chicken or fish with some salad.Β  Yesterday I cooked rice for dinner, mix of white and brown rice, and was going through my fridge to make some curry or gravy to go with the rice. When I saw radish in the fridge, radish with pumpkin chickpeas came to myΒ  mind. I did not have any pumpkin and was little hesitant to cook radish. Since I could not think of any more ideas, I went ahead and prepared this curry. It turned out pretty good! The guys did not even realize it was radish curry until I mentioned it to them πŸ™‚ They thought it was potato!

    Preparation:

    • Peal radish and dice it into 1” cubes. Chop onion and tomatoes and keep aside.
    • In a pan heat oil and sautΓ© the onion until light brown. This is should take about 2 minutes.
    • Add ginger garlic paste and sautΓ© for a minute or so until the raw smell disappears.
    • Add coriander powder, chili powder, turmeric, salt and mix well.
    • Add radish pieces and stir well so that the spices coat the radish.
    • Add tomatoes, chickpeas and mix it well. Cover the pan and cook until tomatoes are soft and mushy.
    • Chickpeas will get a little mushy and will give the gravy some texture too. If one doesn’t like mushy peas, add the chickpeas after the tomatoes are soft and mushy.
    • Add water, cover and cook for another 8 – 10 minutes or until the radish is cooked.
    • Turn of the heat, garnish with cilantro and serve hot with steaming rice or with roti or paratha.
