"Mooli"/ Radish, is a vegetable which is mostly consumed in its raw form with preparation of salads like "Mooli lachcha"(radish rings), "Mooli ka kus"(grated radish) and is used in preparing a very famous Indian Stuffed bread "Mooli ke paranthe". Radish has many food dishes in India, it is even used for making pickle like "Mixed vegetable pickle".
