Topic: freezing mooli

[brum_57]

hi folks - is it possible to freeze mooli (white raddish) I bought a superb specimen from my local lidl's for 50p (bargain!) - about 18" long I used about 4" to make a pot of veggie/chicken stock which I use in my base sauce, now I'm left wondering what to do with the rest of it b4 it goes mankey - any ideas ? (I hate wasting stuff)

Kev.

I would have thought so Brum...why not just try it and see? 

...and please let us know how it went!

I don't know any indian recipes that use mooli but you could try this thai recipe

I deep fry them after they have been cut into cubes and of course you can add spices.

It's used in a couple of curry base recipes Santa.....notably those of Pat Chapman/Bruce Edwards

Yes I was aware of its use in bases but I couldn't think of any recipes that used it, although i dare say there are plenty of authentic indian recipes that include it.
