Usually people use mooli, radishes in making mooli ki bhujiya and salad but throw away the green leaves. Mooli Bhujiya is a very popular stir fry in North India especially in U.P and Punjab, in which both – the root as well as the leaves are used. Mooli Ki Sabzi Bhujiya can be made either by boiling the chopped vegetable and then stir fry in the tempering.

NOTE-
1- You can directly add the chopped vegetables(with out boiling ) at step 5 and cook on low heat till done (dry up the water completely). Tastes great both ways.
2-Traditionally mustard oil is used in preparing this dish, but you may use any vegetable oil of your choice.
3-You may adjust the quantity of root and leaves according to your preference and availability. This dish can be made just with the root, if the greens aren't available.
