Mooli Ka Achar | Radish Pickle Recipe
Make an instant Mooli Ka Achar with peeled and dried Radishes, spices and oil.
Ingredients
- 1.5 kg Radishes
- 1/2 cup Panch Phoran
- 2 Dried Red Chillies
- Salt to taste
- 5 tbsp turmeric powder
- 3 tsp Kashmiri red chilli powder
- 1 tsp Homemade Garam Masala
- 1/2 cup Raw Mustard oil
Instructions
- To make a spicy and homemade Radish Pickle, we will take around 1.5 kg of radishes, wash them thoroughly to remove any dirt, then wipe them with a towel to dry them completely.
- Cut the radishes into any preferred shape that you like. You can either cut them into long strips or round shapes. Now, place them on a cloth and let them dry slightly.
- Do not over-dry them, as keeping the radish slightly moist ensures the correct and fresh texture for the pickle, and also maintains the necessary crunch. If we dry them too much, it would change their natural crunch and freshness. Once they get dry, take them in a plate.
- Now, take a Kadai, add 1/2 cup of Panch Phoran, and 2 dried red chillies. Dry roast on a low heat and then let them cool.
- Grind the mixture into a coarse powder. Do not make a fine powder. Keeping the spice mixture slightly textured is necessary for the Pickle's taste and texture.
- Now, take a large & deep bowl, combine the chopped and dried Radishes, spice mixture, salt to taste, 5 tbsp turmeric powder, 3 tsp Kashmiri Red chilli powder, 1 tsp homemade Garam masala, and 1/2 cup of Raw Mustard oil.
- Mix everything thoroughly.
- The Radish pickle is ready.
- Serve with any meal, such as dal-rice, roti, and parathas. Enjoy!
