A few more days to go and this root vegetable will disappear from my local vegetable market (as the weather is changing). Before I say goodbye to it I wanted to preserve it to consume later and nothing is better than a pickle to preserve a veggie like this which you love the most.
I add radish to my day-to-day menu during the winter season. This is so versatile that you can consume it in any form. Whether eaten raw as a salad, stuff it to make yummy mooli ka paranthas or cook a unique side dish lal mooli-shalgam ki sabji.
The pickle made with mooli adds taste and flavours to the main course, especially with dals. Mustard oil is added to it, making it more pungent and you love its ultra-strong flavour
