Radish soup - Healthy and tasty

Nutritious soup recipe out of Radish. Thanks for sharing. Will try soon.

 

Informative post, Benny..

Radish is also known to cure ailments such as piles, jaundice, skin ailments, respiratory disorders, kidney disorder and is a powerful food to prevent cancer as well!

Here are few tips to select the right radish for recipes..

1. The leaves of the radish must be green.
2. The radish should be firm and not soft.
3. It should be free of nicks and cracks

Use them right away or store them in plastic bag in refrigerator for future use, after removing the green top.

Regards.

arunasairam,

I use the leaves along with the raddish for making dry subzi which can be had along with rice or roti. But wash the leaves thoroughly.

You can lightly saute the leaves and use them along with raw grated raddish in raita.
