Radish Raita Dip with Curry Flavored Naan Chips: Vegan Recipe (2024)

This Radish raita dip is a close dish to my heart.

This recipe is not like any other raita dip out there. It's a unique recipe from the menu of our Puri Jagannath temple. Every year this radish raita dip, which is popularly known as “Madhuruchi,” is made only during the New Year. This is a tradition to serve new varieties of dishes to the deities during the New Year. Only for a month or so, we get Madhuruchi or the radish raita dip in Puri temple. And we love it so so much, that all year my family and I keep talking about it. To make us happy and to satisfy our cravings, my mom makes this recipe whenever she finds red radish in the farmer’s market. In my opinion, this is the best radish raita dip that I ever had.

And I made it vegan!

The vegan yogurt saves my life. I am yet to try making my own vegan yogurt at home. I will and I should do it very soon. Combined with vegan yogurt, blanched radish, lime juice, roasted cumin, fresh green chili, and sweet taste of stevia, fresh cilantro, and the pomegranate kernels, this radish raita dip is a flavorful dip.

NOTE: I didn’t add pomegranate to this dish, because I didn’t find one at any local grocer’s in that week. There was a storm and most stores didn’t have pomegranate in their fruit aisle.

Curry Spiced Naan Chips:

To combine it with the best flavorful chips, I came up with this idea of curry flavored naan chips. This naan chips is quick to make and so good. All you need are some left-over homemade or store bought naan. I used the whole wheat naan for this recipe.

The name curry relates to a distinctive Indian flavor. I want to keep the dish fully Indian. So, the idea of curry flavor snugly fits here. Naan chips is super duper easy to make. Just cut the naan into thin strips or triangles and toss them in the spice and oil mixture. And that’s it! These are ready for baking. Don’t forget to preheat the oven while you prepare the radish raita dip and the naan chips.
