Mooli And Moong Dal Sabji Recipe
Mooli (Radish) and Moong Dal Sabji is a simple stir fry and makes a perfect side dish along with rotis or rice. Instead of discarding radish greens use them (fresh) along with the root to enhance the taste as well as health benefits. It is equally delicious when cold and hence also makes for a good lunch box meal with roti.
