Ingredients

Radish, Garlic & Green chili

  • 1-1.5 kg white radish
  • 10-12 green chili
  • 10-12 garlic

Spices

Seasoning

Instructions

Peel and Dry Radish

  • Peel the radish and cut it into thin sticks or small bite-sized pieces.
    1-1.5 kg white radish
  • Also slice the garlic and green chilies.
    10-12 green chili, 10-12 garlic
  • Place the pieces on a platter and soak them in the sun for 12–24 hours. Dry the radish.

Prepare Mustard Seed

  • Dry roast the mustard seeds in a pan over medium heat until they start to pop and release a nutty aroma.
  • Allow them to cool completely, then grind them into a fine powder.

Spicing the Radish

  • In a mixing bowl, add the dried radish, chili, garlic with all spices and seasoning.
    1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, ½ tbsp ground turmeric, 1 tsp kashmiri red chili powder, 1½ tsp red chili powder, salt (to taste), 1 tbsp mustard seeds
  • Next, mix thoroughly to ensure the spices evenly coat the radishes.

Tempering

  • Heal oil in a pan.
    ½ cup mustard oil or any vegetable oil
  • Once hot, add fenugreek seeds to the hot oil and fry until dark brown but not burnt.
    ½ tsp fenugreek seeds
  • Immediately pour the hot oil over the spiced radish.
  • Toss everything together thoroughly.
  • Taste and adjust salt if needed.

Storage

  • Let it sit for at least 15 minutes before storing it in an airtight container.
  • Store in an airtight container and let it soak in the sun for 7–10 days.
  • After a few days, it will start to turn sour.
  • If you want it more sour, let it sit longer but 7 days is usually enough for me. After that, store it in the refrigerator.
