Hi Sophie! I had to leave a comment to say thank you for a very enjoyable Monday night! I have been browsing your blog since I came home from work, and I am going to sleep inspired, and very hungry!!

I love this Raita recipe. Radish is one of my favourite veggies, and I think they are so overlooked. So full of flavour. I love how they take centre stage here. I can just imagine sitting dunking steaming hot pitta breads into this Raita and being happy as can be!

Every year I always say to myself that I am going to attempt to grow some Radish. I have limited space as I live in central London, but have nice big windows which could take a pretty sizeable window box. So no excuses this year!

Thanks again!

I just love raita, it’s so versatile. I’ve also made a carrot version once that came out well too.

Lovely recipe Sophie, I’ve never thought to turn radishes into a raita, but I like the idea. I also like the look of your spicy chickpeas, they seem deliciously spice encrusted!

The spicy raita sounds great. I love the idea of growing your own ginger indoors! I stuck some in the ground before I left Sydney, but I have no idea whether it’s still growing in my parents’ garden. Apparently you can grow cinnamon as a houseplant too, which sounds lovely and exotic.

a good idea Elaine – it is a natural match for dal. I had been thinking of pairing with my butternut squash dal come the Autumn, but will also have a look at the Honest Kitchen recipe which I haven’t tried yet

I recall seeing the beautiful radish arrangement (bottom photo) a few weeks ago & now I know how you used the bunch. The recipe sounds & looks lovely. I’m going to sow some French Breakfast Radishes later this month & will make sure I grow enough to make this raita to go with my new favourite spicy dal recipe. (It’s the one in the Autumn issue of An Honest Kitchen.)

Choclette – we use those bright blue organic slug pellets which seem to work really well. If the holes are just in the leaves the radish should be fine to eat (though as you say, somehow they’re less tempting)
Shauna – go for it! You’ll easily get another batch or two of radish in over the summer and even once the weather gets a bit colder they’ll still grow, albeit taking twice as long.
My radish growing mistake tends to be not thinning them enough so that the plants are growing too close together and I end up with comedy shaped radishes.

Oh your radish photo is stunning… want to chomp on the screen! I need to give these radishes a try. Hoping it’s not too late in the year to start.
