Select baby radishes with tender leaves and wash them. Cut them in thin strips and soak them in salted water for fifteen minutes. Drain
Saute the required amount of besan to minimise the raw flavour and decrease the cooking time.
In a pan heat up oil. Add cumin seeds, dry red chilli and asafoetida and let the seeds splutter.
Add in the sliced onions and turmeric powder and saute till the onions get transluscent.
Add the chopped radish and add salt according to taste. Cover and let it cook for 5 minutes on low flame. The chopped radish reduces in volume and releases water.
Add red chili powder, mix well and add the sauteed gram flour, sugar and let it cook for next 5 minutes.
