Technique to learn

Fenugreek Oil Bloom

Frying whole fenugreek seeds briefly in hot oil to release rich, nutty aromas before adding main vegetables.

Instructions

Step 1: Peel daikon radish and potatoes, then cut both into 1-inch bite-sized cubes.
Step 2: Heat vegetable oil in a medium heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
Step 3: Add fenugreek seeds and cook for 30 seconds until dark golden brown and fragrant.

Step 4: Stir in cut daikon radish and potatoes, tossing in oil for 3 minutes.

Step 5: Add ground turmeric, ground cumin, diced tomatoes, and salt, stirring well for 2 minutes.

Step 6: Pour in 1 cup of water, cover pot, lower heat to medium-low, and simmer for 15 minutes.

Step 7: Uncover pot, stir well, garnish with fresh chopped cilantro, and serve warm.

Cooking tips

Watch fenugreek seeds carefully so they turn dark golden without blackening and becoming bitter.
Cut vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking.
