Radish or Mooli aur Patte Ki Sabzi Recipe
First signs of winter and my heart craves for mooli ke paranthe and salads, I came across this Radish or Mooli aur Patte Ki Sabzi Recipe on Sanjeev Kapoor’s page and immediately tried it out. When I was a kid I remember my mom and SIL cooking and relishing it together. But I never had a taste for it. I can see many curled noses at this recipe. Trust me for once and try it out.
You probably didn’t know that this veggie actually gives your health a real boost. Radishes are not the most popular vegetables around, but they are one of the healthiest. They add a pungent, peppery flavour to dishes. One radish should be part of your salad every day. It gives crunch in your salads, cook mooli sabzi, or use to make sambar and chutney like they do in my part of our country.
You may ask, why radish leaves? That’s for the simple reason that the leaves are even more nutrient-dense than the radish. They pack lots of iron, which helps reduce fatigue, avert anaemia and enhance the haemoglobin level, boosts immunity big time, help strengthen the heart and keep our cholesterol levels sorted.
Benefits of Radish and its leaves
As I am suffering from chronic depression, I have realised there is a direct connection between the gut and the mind. Keep your gut healthy and your mind will stay healthy too. Did you know that radish is the secret to a happy and satiated tummy? Radish is chock full of dietary fibre, which helps with that. A mooli every day keeps your bowel movement smooth.
Mooli helps clear the mucus from your throat and respiratory tract. So, instead of taking a decongestant that’ll make you drowsy, indulge in some mooli.
Bursting with vitamin A, C, E, B6, potassium, and other minerals, radishes can give your whole body an immunity boost. High on antioxidants, it’s quite good for your heart as well. Radishes can help keep blood pressure under control and is the reason why everybody should have enough mooli in winters, when high blood pressure issues get worse, if not taken care of.
Phosphorous and zinc in it help to get rid of dryness, acne and rashes. The high water content in it keeps the body naturally hydrated. My mom loved mooli and had wonderful skin. So have enough mooli, and you’ll have glowing skin all winter.
Back to my recipe-how, I digress! Radish or Mooli aur Patte Ki Sabzi Recipe is a healthy winter curry full of vitamins and immunity boosters to ward off the cold-related ailments. I have radish and spring onions growing in my kitchen garden. This curry is farm fresh from the garden to the table. A simple, easy to prepare, nutritious dish ready in 15 minutes.

Oh, I absolutely love mooli ki sabzi, it’s one of my winter favorites. But I have never made it myself, my cook used to cook it. But now that we don’t have that privilege I may try this recipe and surprise myself. 😀
Raddish is one of my favorite vegetables. And cooking sabzi with its greens tastes so good. I don’t get a lot of raddish here with the leaves but whenever I find it, I just grab it. And as your image shows, it goes very well with Chapati topped with ghee.
Radish is a great immunity booster and I just love the aroma of radish cooked with its leaves. Cooking green veggies is a real stress buster for me. Thanks a lot sharing.
Raddish and Moli ke patte both are my fav, and we also make this vegetable a lot but with a different recipe, this is new to me and would love to try!!
Interesting recipe. I think my mom would make this as a side dish and all of us would ignore it. Now let me try it with my kids and husband and see if they eat it.
We rarely make sabji, this is a good and interesting way to have it – will try it out. mooli is nice to have in this weather, would love to try it with its leaves.
I absolutely detest mooli😬 but these images have made it look pretty appetizing. Hope this recipe changes my mind towards mooli.
This is such an awesome vegetable for the winter season and the cherry on top is that it is super healthy as well. Thank you so much for sharing!
Loved the recipe. Perfect for winter season. Will try this weekend for sure. Loved your presentation. So yummy and tempting.
We do prepare this dish and relish with Methi ke paranthe and curd. Must say winter season is best to have green leafy vegetables.
My mom used to make this sabji when I was small and I absolutely loved it but I myself never tried it. Now I surely will thanks to your recipe
Definitely a healthy and easy-peady recipe. I make spring onion besan this way and love it. Will try this out for sure since nice fresh radishes are coming now.
This look absolutely tempting and reminded me of my childhood home my granny and mom would make this amazing dish and give it with crispy roti with a dollop of homemade butter
We rarely make sabji, but my mom used to make this but i never learnt .Mooli is nice to have in this weather, would love to try it with its leaves.
You know what, we make this once a week. It is so healthy. The best and nutritious root is a delightful eat during winters. Thank you for such an exhaustive read. I also eat raddish paranthas. It’s like a ritual at my place.
This looks so delicious. We love making this for winters and also make stuffed parathas with this. It tastes really delicious too. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
I never liked radish for some reason. But this recipe would be a potential reason why I would love to try it. Looks yummy to me.
Love winter mooli. This recipe seems to be a must try!
