A delicious Saar made of radish which is served over rice or can be eaten as a soup. This is ideal for those who dislike the pungent taste of radish. The coconut added not just tones down the pungency but also masks the typical flavour of radish. A dear friend Jyothi Chikramane shared this recipe with me.
Ingredients:
1 horse radish
2 green chillies
1 cup grated coconut
3 sprigs curry leaves
1 tbsp oil
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1/4 tsp cumin seeds
1 dry red chilly broken into two
A pinch of asafoetida
Salt
Lemon juice as required
1 heaped tbsp finely chopped coriander leaves .
Method:
Peel and wash the horse radish. Cut into pieces. Tip these pieces into a blender along with coconut and green chillies. Grind to a fine paste and pour it into a pan. Water it down to the desired consistency. Add salt and one sprig of curry leaves. Bring to a boil and simmer on a low flame for about three to four minutes. Heat oil in a pan. Drop in the mustard seeds. After they splutter add the cumin seeds. Add the dry red chilly bits, asafoetida and the curry leaves. Finally add the coriander leaves and pour this seasoning into the simmering Saar. Switch off. Add lemon juice as desired. Serve hot.
