New year kicks in. This time around, I have no resolutions. It never did work with me, figured out any day is just as good as the 1st of Jan to do good things. Just not reading News as voraciously as before, to sort of keep the mind away from all the bad news floating around.
Now for a new recipe. I wanted to present a Raita for a dinner party, something that says winter in a mouthful but cools the spicy Chole that went along. That particular day it was Punjabi style meal with spicy Chole, Saag Panner and Pulkas. It reminded me so much of the Punjabi winters that I had to serve Mooli along, just the way they do back in Punjab- a simple salad of Mooli, onions and green chillies. Dressed it up a bit to use up some Pomegranates procured in bulk from Costco!
We will need
Mooli /Daikon (tender ones) 1 cup (grated and drained)
Pomegranate seeds 1 cup
Yogurt 1.5 cup (fresh and sweet preferable)
Mint leaves 3-4 chopped
Pepper a dash
Salt to taste
Sugar a generous pinch
Method:
