No Onion No Garlic Radish Leaves Variety Rice

Radish Leaves Variety Rice aka Radish Greens Rice is a quick and healthy rice recipe. Who say no to variety rice? being an Indian Mini Meals kind of lunch is what i prefer and one variety rice will be there in my lunch menu. This greens are my from my garden and I am happy that my picky eater is having this rice without any complaints 🙂 . I always

sow radish seeds after last frost in my vegetable garden. This year because of fluctuated weather till may end the plants end up in yielding radish seed pods and nothing will be there under the ground. I mean it won’t yield radishes (refer picture below). So i use radish greens as much i can in the day to day cooking like other greens. I will post more interesting recipes using my garden yields in near future. Also if you are interested to see my gardening posts with tips do stay connected in my Instagram page. I will post more there in summer since i spend more time in garden.

Notes

• Don’t use mushy rice for this recipe.
• This is similar to Mint Rice so you can easily replace radish greens with mint or coriander leaves.
• Also do add boiled white or black chana or peanut to make it protein rich rice.
• Do use cooked Basmati rice and using ghee enhances the taste for this variety rice.
