Then wash the radish thoroughly, peel it and grate it finely.
– There is a way to remove the bitterness of radish. Place the grated radish in a clean cloth and squeeze it lightly if needed. This will remove excess water and thicken the raita, but do not squeeze too much, otherwise the nutrients may get leached out.
– Now, add grated radish, chopped green chillies, roasted cumin powder, black salt, plain salt and black pepper powder to the strained curd and mix gently so that the radish and spices mix well in the curd.
– Keep the raita in the refrigerator to cool for a while. Before serving, garnish with finely chopped coriander and mint leaves. This gives the raita (Moolangi Raita) a fresh aroma and a beautiful appearance.
