BM #116 Day 9 -
Here I am showcasing another basic No Onion No Garlic meal option with a Tomato Dal, Aloo Fry and a rice dish which is very uncommon.
Personally, I am not a fan of radish. But when my cousin urged me to try this out, I thought to myself that if I don't like it then my husband who is a radish lover can help in finishing off the rice :).
But to my surprise there was no lingering taste of radish in the final product. This was loved by the whole family thanks to my cousin.

Ingredients -
Rice 1 1/2 cups
Radish, peeled and grated 2 cups
Peas 1/2 cup (I used frozen peas)
Roasted Peanut Powder 1/4 cup
Turmeric and Salt as needed
Lemon Juice 3-4 tsp or as needed
Seasoning (Oil 1 Tbsp, Mustard Seeds 1/2 tsp, Chana Dal 2 tsp, Urad Dal 1 tsp, Cumin seeds 1/2 tsp, Peanuts 1/4 cup, Curry leaves few)
To Grind -
Mint leaves handful
Coriander leaves handful
Green Chilies 4-5 (or as needed)
Ginger 1 inch piece
Method Of Preparation -
Cook rice separately in any method as preferred. I cooked it in the Instant Pot.
Grind the mint, coriander leaves, ginger and green chilies into a fine paste adding as little water as needed.
In a bowl, add the grated radish and mix in the coriander-mint paste. Let the radish marinate in the mixture while the rest of the process is taken care of.
Spread the cooked rice in a wide platter allowing it to cool.
Roast peanuts and coarsely crush them. Set it aside.
Prepare the seasoning by heating a pan. Add the ingredients of the seasoning and allow them to be toasted well. Pour the seasoning onto the rice which is spread out on the platter.
In the same heated pan, add a teaspoon of oil if needed and saute the marinated radish. Also thaw the frozen peas and add them in.
Ensure the radish is cooked through. Sprinkle salt and turmeric and reduce the heat.
Add in the rice and gently mix.
Remove from heat, squeeze the lemon juice and mix well.
Cover and allow the rice to absorb all the flavors.
Serve it warm as part of a meal.
