Radish Greens and Brinjal stir fry – a simple sabzi with minimum spices.
As it is rightly said, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. It is simple food that actually satisfies the soul. There are times when we crave simple, soul satisfying food as opposed to exotic, fancy meals. This radish greens and brinjal stir fry is one such recipe. This recipe was shared by Sanjukta Majumdar in a facebook food group around a month ago. I liked the recipe so much that I have prepared this sabzi 3 times in last 30 days.
I have used homegrown radish greens here. Radish greens are sauteed in minimum oil and spices, to which fried brinjal cubes are added. Fried brinjal gives a nice crunch to the dish. Brinjal cubes can be air-fried, if one wants to avoid oil. This sabzi with hot phulkas, accompanied with sweet mango pickle or amla murabba is comfort food for me.
