Mulaa or Radish as it is called in English, is an extremely nutritious vegetable. Radishes are grown and eaten throughout the world, but mostly as a raw salad. Some Indian cuisines use these healthy roots for cooking daals or vegetables or parathas too.

Radishes have numerous varieties, varying in size, colour and flavor. Here I have used the white radishes commonly found in the winters in India. They have a slightly sharp pungent flavour. The leaves of this root too are used in salads and cooking.

Mulyaachi Koshimbir (as called in Marathi), means a Radish salad. The pungency of the radish and the leaves here is eliminated by simply crushing and squeezing the leaves and radish. The other ingredients added give this koshimbir a lovely taste. This is a commonly made salad in our house in the winters as we get fresh and lovely radishes exactly during this season. As it’s rightly said, it’s good to eat seasonal vegetables and fruits!
