Radish & Capsicum Fry


I was searching for recipes using radish , finally i gave up and decided to try my own. Since i had capsicum too, I tried out this combination today and was pleasantly surprised!

(The radish/daikon that we get in the supermarket here are pretty big, so i used just half.)
Radish - 1/2 cut into rounds first and then quartered.
Capsicum - 1/2 cut into squares.
Garlic - 4 cloves chopped
Red chillies - 2 crushed
1/2 tsp red chilli powder
A little turmeric powder
Salt to taste
For seasoning - 1/2 tsp jeera & 1/2 tsp mustard
Oil - 1 tbsp
Heat oil in a pan, season with mustard and jeera. Add crushed red chillies and chopped garlic, fry till garlic is slightly brown. Add the capsicum and radish, chilli powder, turmeric powder and salt. Keep stirring till everything is well combined. Lower the flame and let it cook for about 20 mins, stirring in between. The radish will be crunchy.
If you wish you can cover and cook longer till the radish becomes soft and fully cooked.
This goes well with curd rice, rasam and rice or chapati.
