well Usha di,
as far as i remember the pods you are talking about we call in
maharashtra "Dingri". Am I correct Madhuri ji?
Mula or rettisch(german) has many forms. we get here long mula about 40
cm white, round, black and round, then we also get Radieschen, mostly
red, which are much smaller.
All are differently sharp in taste. we also buy seeds and sprouts are
eaten in salad. round rettisch is mostly eaten with bear, one gets
thursty after eating salted rettisch and it is good for the barkeepers
pocket.
In Pune my mom used to cut the top of the mula with tiny green leaves
and put it in soil. The plant produces the pods "dingri".
I try that here too but depending upon the weather i get the pods or not.
I take this opportunity to wish you all merry X'mas and and a very happy
new year.

Very nice, Surajit
Pods are what we call Mogri in gujarati and eat them in salads and
very quick saute...
I found some being grown in the staff housing near the annual car
rally, the pods were inviting.. i took a few pictures and the lady of
the house ca,me out yelling , but turned to smiles when she discovered
that all i wanted was to take pictures...
and we get mogri in the vegetable markets were there is a sizable
gujarati , marathi and konkani /, goan population... the sabziwalas
make a bundle
I had seen a couple of pictures many years ago in a travel magazine
where these pods/mogri-fruits-pods were served in bowls in a bar along
with beer in germany... those were the days when we still had east and
west germany... that's how old the information is ... and i had
taken the picture ot my local grocery store manager to see if he could
find me those pods...
and he did a year later... and he kept selling them out totally for
about a week or two.. when the local farm ran out of their radish
crop... and we did this for about a couple of more years till we moved
but have not found a real reference about use in germany ...
some intrepid traveler can perhaps get a picture or two and a story to
go with it...
*may be NALINI can
