Ingredients
- Radish (Mooli) – You can make it with any radish – white or pink.
- Others – You will also need green chilies, freshly squeezed lime juice, salt, and cilantro (fresh coriander leaves). Adjust the amount of green chilies to your taste.
You can also add ginger juliennes and chopped tomatoes to this lachha, if you wish.
How To Make Mooli Lachha
Rinse 250 g of radishes under running water. Discard the top and bottom ½-inch of the radishes. Peel them with a vegetable peeler, then rinse them again with water.
Grate the radishes using the medium holes of a box grater.
Mix the grated radishes with the following ingredients.
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped green chilies
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
Serve.
Storage Suggestions
This salad tastes best when fresh. If left for too long, the radishes will lose water due to the salt. But if you have leftover salad, store it in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
