The First Step is to clean the mula saga or radish leaves thoroughly. Watch the video to learn how to identify the good one from the bad. The stem can be discarded or used for the dish as per your preference. Finely chop the leaves and keep aside.
Repeat the same process with the yellow pumpkin and keep it aside. Slice the onions and roughly crush the garlic.
Heat mustard oil in a kadhai. Add pancha phutana (mixture of cumin, mustard, fenugreek, nigella & fennel seeds) and dry red chili. When the spluttering begins, add the chopped onions & saute for 1 minute.
Now add the crushed garlic & green chillies. Sauté the whole mixture for 2 mins.
Add pumpkin & radish leaves along with salt and turmeric powder. Saute for a min and cover the lid. Cook until the vegetables are partially cooked. That might take around 5-7 mins.
Next step is to add the radish leaves and mix well. Cover with a lid till everything is well cooked.
