Radish greens and potato curry recipe – easy and delicious curry using radish leaves and potatoes flavored with coconut milk and spices. This is a lightly spiced curry with the goodness of radish greens or mooli ke patte in a coconut milk based gravy.
Many of us throw away the radish tops and make use of radish alone. But these radish leaves are edible and as a matter of fact nutritious too.
The first dish I had prepared using these was radish greens dal. Its one of the easy recipes that I prepare regularly, whenever I can get hold of them.
This time I wanted to try radish greens with coconut milk just for a different flavor.
The greens go so well with coconut milk and the few spices added enhance the taste of the gravy. Radish leaves have a slightly bitter and a peppery flavor. The coconut milk is able to mask the bitterness and gives a nice creamy taste to the dish. The best part is you wont be able to guess that this curry has radish leaves.
This vegan recipe uses simple everyday spices. I have used white radish leaves here. Also, there are no onions used in this recipe. It goes well with chapathis, phulkas or rotis as well as rice.
