Mooli Ka Achar – A spicy ,tangy and instant  pickle made from radish / daikon ,oil and Indian spices

Mooli Ka Achar – During winter we make many seasonal pickles with fresh vegetables. These vegetables pickles taste amazing with stuffed parathas and simple daal chawal meals. If made in proper ways and with hygiene these pickles stays  well during the whole winter season.
These seasonal pickles don’t require much oil like the mango pickle ,just add some oil and keep stirring once a day is enough .
I love this Instant mooli ka achar with my stuffed parathas. I have chopped it into roundels but you can also slice it lengthwise if you wish.
If you love making seasonal winter pickles then do try these-

NOTE -
1- -Rai kuria -split and de husked mustard seeds-if you don't have rai kuria ,just use roughly crushed  mustard seeds.

  1. Really appreciate your response! Just one more doubt, should I pour oil after heating it, or straight from the bottle as is? I vaguely remember someone saying that oil should be brought to smoking point before adding in pickles. Best Regards

    • If you are using Mustard oil then you should heat it to the smoking point and then let it cool down before adding in the pickle .No harm in heating any cooking oil before adding in the pickle 🙂
