This yum radish dal these days I make in 2 ways. I have shared the traditional way. Simple to make this curry uses all your pantry ingredients. Making this dal takes care of the flavours that you need to vary your everyday meal.
Everyday food at home is simple and delicious. You can vary the taste of food by adding or removing some of the ingredients. This is how the homemaker works to keep meals healthy, interesting and appetising.
I find it easy to feed my kids the much hated but healthy radish as salads, a paratha, and chutney.
One simple raita that features our table regularly is Dahi Mula or Masuru Moolangi. Just grate the radish and add to well-beaten curds. You can add some green chillies and coriander leaves too.
The other salad the girls love is called “Pachadi”. To make this green salad I use greens from the radish ( you can use any flavourful greens). Onion, tomatoes, and cucumber make it to the chopped greens bowl. Some fresh coconut/roasted peanuts, lemon, salt and sugar. You can check the variation I made with dandelion leaves here.

The way my kids eat radish is like I said limited. Okay, I have hoodwinked them into eating pulao made from radish leaves. But generally, they do not enjoy this vegetable.
So one day my friend told me she made “Mulyachi Amti” and rattled the recipe when I said how. Her kids love it she told me.
Now, both the sets of kids, hers and mine have similar tastes so I assumed mine will like it too. I was looking at the empty rice and dal vessels in the evening!
So sharing this recipe with you all. This recipe is a no-onion, no garlic recipe. Plus I make it with an oil-based tempering and hence vegan.

What is Dal?
In English, dals are Lentils or pulses. The split gram of many beans are called dals. Examples are green gram, peas etc.
In the Indian Sub-continent dal also means the cooked curry/stew that is consumed with rice and flatbreads.
Why does dal need to be soaked?
In a soaked dal you activate an enzyme called phytase. This enzyme Phytase is useful in breaking down phytic acid. It also helps in binding calcium, iron and zinc. The result is your body absorbs the minerals faster.
In Conclusion: Mulyachi Amti or Radish dal curry make a delicious and easy everyday curry. Add it to your menu and include the benefits of radish in your diet.

I love and more frequently prepared Radish Sambar and this radish dal looks interesting!!
Vaishali says
Except for using radish in salad and paratha , I don't use it much in anything else . Addition to daal sounds fantastic , reminds me of some Himachal recipes where they use grated radish in curries .
Sapna says
Radishes gives a strong flavour to any dish. Dal with radish must have tasted unique.
Gayathri Kumar says
Looks so much like mullangi sambar and this is the only way I can make my daughter eat radish. Best to be paired with rice. Delicious..
Priya Suresh says

I only know of mooli ke parathe and mooli sabji. You're right this dal is a great way to add the healthy mooli to one's diet.
Srividhya Gopalakrishnan says
At first, I thought its radish sambar. We usually make sambar with radish and shallots. This dal sounds yum and its a great addition to dals.
Sowmya says
That is a fabulous way to get the family to eat radish! The dal looks fantastic
Kalyani says

I usually make only radish sambar. HAvent tried making dal with radish. A must try I say
Mayuri Patel says
Love adding radish to dals and sambar. So healthy, tasty and best enjoyed with some rice. I often use red radish as that is easily available here. Will try your style without tomato and adding tamarind.

RAdishes are my husband's favorite vegetable. He loved the difference between the regular Radish sambhar we make to this amti.
ArchanaPotdar says
😀 thanks you now have me craving for radish sambhar. 😀
Priya Vj says
I love radish sambar and this radish amti sounds to be a close cousin of the sambar but with subtle flavors . Will definitely try it out
ArchanaPotdar says
True it is like sambhar but not sambhar. 😀
