... & then, what kind of food is Mooli ?

Answer 1

MOOLI: white radish

In India, the Hindi word is "Mooli".

Radish, White
Raphanus sativus

Well known by its Japanese name, daikon, this white radish is often big enough to warrant its description of 'giant' in the species which offers a large range of sizes and colours. In Japan daikon is cooked in stewed dishes, used as a garnish and made intorelishes and pickles.

In the skilled hands of those trained in vegetable carving, daikon can be transformed into roses, chrysanthemums, carnations, white swans and other birds. Even in simpler ways, daikon makes an impressive garnish.

Fresh radish, finely grated and mixed with finely chopped fresh hot chillies is used as a relish with Japanese food. A Japanese cook showed me how fresh red chillies (perhaps 3 or 4) are inserted in a section of white radish and the radish then grated very, very finely. The result is a rosy purŽe which has a definite bite. It is called momiji oroshi, which translates as 'maple leaf in autumn' because of its colour. Served with seafood or as a dip with seafood nabemono.

It contains the enzyme diastase (now made into a commercial anti-indigestion pill), paesin and vitamin C. The sweetest part of the radish is the top end (just below the leaves). However, the root is not the only part which is eaten. The leaves, rich in iron, calcium and vitamin C, may be sautŽed or eaten raw in salad. The seed pods are crunchy, with a mild or hot radish flavour, depending on the variety. Much favoured as an addition to salads. Some varieties are from 4-7 cm (11/2-3 in) long and others can be as much as 30 cm (12 in) in length. The seed pods may also be lightly pickled in the same way as mustard cabbage. See recipe for Mustard Cabbage Relish.

When using radish, grate just before serving for maximum nutritional value. A special kind of grater is available for grating the fresh root into long, fine shreds (daikon-oroshi). A good vegetable for pickling (takuan, miso-zuke) or shredding then drying (kiriboshi). In Korea, white radish is used to make a pickle similar to kim chi, called kaktugge.

Mooli Recipe:

Mooli Paratha
Radish filled Indian flat bread
3 cups wheat flour
1 lb. Raddish - white or 2 cups grated Radish
1 teaspoon Red chili powder
1 teaspoon Ajwain (carom seeds)
1 Onion - medium
1/4 th cup Cilantro leaves
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
2 tablespoons butter
salt, to taste
1/2 cup butter or oil

Mix flour, butter, and salt thoroughly in a bowl and then add sufficient water to make dough, knead for 5 minutes, cover and keep aside for 15 minutes. Finely chop the onion and coriander leaves.

Wash the radish and grate using a vegetable grater. Add a teaspoon of salt to the grated radish, mix well and keep aside for 3-5 minutes. Now squeeze out the water. To the squeezed radish, add garam masala, chili powder, chopped onion, coriander, and carom seeds. Mix well.

Divide this mixture into 1 inch sized balls. Keep aside.

Divide dough into slightly larger than 1 inch size balls, flatten each ball into a circle. Place the grated radish balls at the center of the flattened dough.

Then, gently stretch the dough to envelope the mixture completely, such that all the edges meet at the top of the dough ball. Using your fingers seal the dough well so that all the stretched up edges blend into one.

Dust with some flour and roll out the dough into a circle.

Heat a frying pan and when frying pan is very hot, place the rolled out dough on it. Leave for a minute and now turn over. After a minute or so the paratha will slowly start to bubble up. Now drizzle one teaspoon of melted butter or oil onto the top of the paratha and turn over. The paratha immediately starts to rise. Repeat the drizzling with melted butter or oil on this side too. Turn over again and let it rise once more. When golden brown on both sides, remove from frying pan and serve immediately!

Note- Best eaten right away with some lemon pickle or mixed vegetable chutney along with thick fresh yogurt!

Answer 2

After looking at some answers i came to know how ppl pass their time at work place.....well I'm an Indian and in Hindi Mooli means Radish its a vegetable , you can make flat breads out of it or can simply eat it in salad

Answer 3

Mooli
A long white Japanese vegetable of the radish family, also known as daikon. It's crunchy, with a mild peppery flavour, similar to watercress. Unlike other radishes it's as good cooked as it is raw. In Chinese and Japanese cookery it's used for vegetable carving as well as cooking. Mooli is sometimes available in larger supermarkets, but you're more likely to find it in Asian or Caribbean food shops.

Answer 4

it particularly is going to remember very much on no count if the kinfolk in question celebrates as Sephardi or Ashkenazi. Sephardim are allowed legumes, like peas and beans and rice, too, while Ashkenazi Jews do no longer enable something that swells once you prepare dinner it. I actually have a Persian Charoset recipe (that's spectacular, by utilising the way) that not often resembles my mom's common apples and cinnamon. greater culmination, greater spices, have been given it from the community newspaper approximately ten years in the past. They have not run it on account that. Hmmm. bobbing up particularly quickly...gotta initiate making plans my menu.
