Radish Fries

Radish Fries are Radish Whites cut into thin strips just like potatoes as in french fries and coated with turmeric and other spices as per your requirement and fried. They appear just like french fries.

The taste of these radish fries may differ from potatoes, but looks wise it is the same.

My Husband brought in a lot of this radish, however, the leaves had already faded and we were not able to consume these radish leaves, so what was left was just the radish whites, I thought scrapping it raw would be too pungent to eat as no one prefers much of spicy food at home. So what could I do, boiling the radish was very boring. My mom in law suggested fries. Now I had to think how would I execute making these fries and then struck this idea of coating the radish with turmeric and it turned out that it looked exactly like french fries. So here we are, let us take a look at the steps below to make radish fries.

I shall give you an idea, use it on April Fools Day on any of your close friends or loved ones, you can play a prank by making these fries and serving them as french fries along with tomato ketchup and see their reaction on this ;)
