Mooli Korma

Mooli Korma

Last week I posted a recipe for moola bhaji as I discovered that you could actually cook that long white radish! I have since been experimenting and this is a delicious recipe… not something I would think of eating (or cooking) if I’d been offered a ‘radish curry’ 😛 🙂 but seriously this is SO yummy! We’re still waiting for the weather to warm up ‘consistently’ here in the UK so this is a great dish for the winter we still appear to be in! It’s not a heavy dish and no doubt doesn’t follow any of the rules for a ‘korma’ but the food you see here in the photos! That is a tasty creamy mild korma! 🙂 Oh, and of course it is DEGF too! Dairy. Egg. Gluten. Free.

• Coconut oil
• 1 mooli (long white radish) sliced
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (I use Pink Himalayan)
