Radish Chutney / Mullangi Chutney - Side dish for Idli / Dosa

Radish (Mullangi in Tamil) is a low calorie vegetable, rich source of vitamin C helps to boost immunity and to fight against all kinds of diseases including cancer, heart disease, and stroke.

Though we know the health benefits of this vegetable, many have the aversion towards the pungent and strong odour of this vegetable.

So I found a smart way of adding this vegetable into the diet, by making chutney - your family members will not even recognize that there is a health friendly vegetable in this chutney!

It is delicious, easy to make and goes well with South Indian breakfast varieties such as Idli, Dosa and Uttappam; suitable as an accompaniment for chapathi, as well.
