We usually consume the Radish by preparing Raithas, Sambar, Radish Curry or use it in Parathas to prepare Radish or Mooli Paratha. Most throw the Radish leaves or the “Radish Greens”. Most are not even aware that Radish leaves are edible and recipes made out of Radish Leaves can actually can taste quite good.

To talk about health benefits of Radish Leaves or Greens, they are a good source of Vitamin C, Calcium and can help treat Jaundice. My mother always prepared Radish Leaves Salad as side-dish for Jowar Roti or for Chapati. One can also consume this as is as a healthy Salad. So, I took this Radish Leaves Salad recipe from my mother. For this Salad, you will have to add the Tender Cucumber and crushed (or coarsely powdered) Roasted Bengal Gram also known as Hurigadale or Kadale Pappu. These two ingredients provide good taste to the Salad.
