Method

Get ready by washing and peeling the radish. Cut it into thin half-moon slices. Wash the curry leaves and slit the green chilli. Pat the curry leaves dry so they do not splutter in hot oil.
2
Heat oil in a kadai on medium flame for 1 minute until hot. Add mustard seeds and cook for 30 seconds until they splutter. Add urad dal, green chilli and curry leaves, then fry for 1 to 2 minutes until the dal turns light golden.
