Serves: 10
Total Calories: 16

1 1/2 pounds white daikon radishes
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 to 3 fresh green chili pepper, such as serrano, minced with seeds
1 tablespoon peeled minced fresh cilantro, including soft stems
1/2 teaspoon , coarsely ground ajwain, seeds

USE IN:
Basic Stuffed Griddle-Fried Breads

In a food processor, grate or mince the radishes. Transfer to a bowl, mix in the salt and leave the radishes to sweat, about 30 minutes. Then squeeze out as much water as you can. (This removes much of the strong and bitter juice from the daikons, making them much sweeter. If you wish, use these juices to make the dough for paranthas.) Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Use in basic Stuffed Griddle-Fried Breads.
