Radish Chutney – Mullangi Chutney Recipe

 

A reader requested me to post Radish chutney recipe for Idli dosa. Until then I have never thought of making a chutney with Radish ( Mullangi in Tamil, Mooli in Hindi). I have tried Mullangi thogayal for rice but this is the first time I made a chutney for idli using radish. Actually I was worried whether the smell of Radish may spoil the chutney. But to my surprise, chutney came out truly flavorful. Even Sendhil couldn’t make out its a chutney made with Radish.Its a chutney without coconut and tomato too. I have used white radish, dal and onion. I must thank my reader for making me try this chutney. For this recipe, I adapted Andhra style mullangi pachadi and made slight changes as per my family’s taste buds.I guess it works well for red radish too. I am happy to include this chutney in my radish recipes and chutney collection list. Lets see how to do this easy mullangi chutney for idli dosa.
