Do you all love the greens? I love all types of greens and these radish leaves are one of my favorite type of greens. Mooli is a winter radish which is called daikon and is more popular in the Southeast Asia region. Daikon comes from two Japanese words, dai means large and kon means root. Mooli ki Sabzi reminds me of my childhood in India. After moving to the US, it was a while before I got to eat this subzi as I wasn’t able to find the greens.
Daikon has quite a few health benefits including its ability to prevent certain types of cancer, boost the immune system, reduce inflammation, improve digestion, detoxify the body, strengthen bones, aid respiratory health, and stimulate weight loss.
Have you ever tried the mooli with chaat masala and lemon juice?? I just love it especially when the mooli is sweet. I am not sure if everyone like to eat the radish leaves but these greens also come with some health benefits. Now on to the recipe and see what is the radish leaves all about??
