radish is known as mullangi in south Indian languages and is used to make sambar and chutney. It is one of the healthiest vegetables and should be included in our diet. Mullangi is good for people suffering with blood pressure and diabetes.
I often run out of ideas to cook mullangi. This mullangi curry is made just by stir fry method and is cooked to the minimum hence it is a healthy way of preparing radish.
Dry mullangi curry can be served with rice or phulka and makes a good choice for lunch box as well.
Coconut, sesame seeds, coarsely crushed roasted peanuts can be used if they fit into your diet.
