Ingredients
Daikon radish: This type of radish has a milder and sweeter flavor compared to other varieties, making it perfect for this dish. White rice: Any type of long grain rice can be used, such as basmati rice or jasmine. Make sure to rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove excess starch. Spices: Common spices used in this recipe include red chilli powder, turmeric powder, garam masala powder, bay leaf, cloves and cinnamon. Green moong dal: This optional ingredient adds additional protein and texture to the dish. Soaking the dal beforehand helps with digestion.
Instructions
Soak the green moong dal overnight or at least 4 hours if you are using it.
Serving Suggestions
For a complete meal, pair radish rice with a side of crispy papadums and a refreshing cucumber raita. For a vegetarian option, serve with sautéed vegetables like carrots, green beans, and bell peppers. Add protein by topping the rice with roasted tofu or roasted chickpeas.
Variations
To add more depth of flavor, you can also add in some finely chopped onions along with the radishes. Sauté the onions until they are translucent before adding in the other ingredients. For a spicier kick, add in some chopped green chilies or a dash of cayenne pepper to the dish. You can add ginger garlic paste along with onions.
Storage
Radish rice can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, simply microwave or heat on the stove with a splash of water to prevent it from drying out. Add in bay leaf, cloves and cinnamon stick. Sauté for a minute until fragrant. Rinse the rice thoroughly and add it to the pot with 1 ½ cups of water. Cook on high pressure for 4 minutes, then let it naturally release for 10 minutes before opening the lid.
