Radish Channa Gravy

Radish is an excellent source of vitamin C. Including radish in our diet regularly helps to reduce obesity. It helps in curing constipation and piles and has anti-cancer properties. It has also been found beneficial in problems related to respiratory disorders. Radish can be taken raw in the form of salads and raithas. It is also used to prepare stuffed parathas and sambar. Since I got bored preparing radish sambar, parathas and salad, I tried this recipe for a change. It was in my cookery note book which I had written a few years back. So I do not know the source of this recipe. I have never tried this because I felt radish combined with carrot and cabbage will not go well but to my surprise it tasted great with both rice and roti. So here I am sharing it with you all, so that you can try this protein packed recipe and enjoy with your family. 

Ingredients needed

Chopped radish – 1 cup
Chickpea or Garbanzo beans – 1/2 cup
Onions -3/4 cup chopped
Tomato -1 cup finely chopped
Carrot -1/2 cup

Salt as requried

Spice Powder

Cumin powder – 1 tsp
Coriander powder – 2 tsp

Garam masala powder- 1/2 tsp

    So far mostly I have used frozen (store bought or home made) food and I am trying prepare fresh food daily with max life of one day after seeing your recipes.

    Your recipes are easy and will try those recipes once I go through ingredients and photos. another key point I look is time required to prepare and cook.

    By looking some recipes I think will take time and skipping it.

    Can you please add those details in old recipes as well.

    I would like to thank you for the easy recipes.
