Recipe- Spicy And Tangy Mooli Ka Achar

Mooli Ka Achar – During winter we make many seasonal pickles with fresh vegetables. These vegetables pickles taste amazing with stuffed parathas and simple daal chawal meals. If made in proper ways and with hygiene these pickles stays well during the whole winter season.
