Radishes can sometimes have a natural bitterness. To prevent this, you can salt the chopped radish, let it rest for 15 minutes, and then squeeze out the excess water before cooking. If the dish is already cooked, adding a little more amchur (dry mango powder) or a squeeze of lemon juice can help balance the flavors.
Yes, you can make the sabzi with just the radish. However, the leaves add significant nutritional value, a lovely peppery flavor, and an authentic texture to the dish, so they are highly recommended.
