Marinated Radish

In India, white radish (daikon or 'mooli') is used widely. To eat white long radish with lemon, salt and pepper is a sweet reminder of sunny winters in North India. You may use white or red radish. It should preferably be made fresh or one day in advance and refrigerated. From the cookbook 'Recipes with a Spice - Indian Cuisine for Balanced Nutrition'. Visit www.healthyindiancuisine.com
