Radish Chutney | Mullangi Chutney

Radish Chutney | Mullangi Chutney - This Telugu style Radish Chutney is spicy and sour and very tasty. This Chutney goes well with Idlis, Dosas and Vadas and also with hot Rice with ghee.

You add Tamarind and Red Chillies to Radish pieces to make this Chutney and it lasts a month in the fridge and 15 days outside, if untouched by water. The Radish Chutney recipe is similar to Tomato Chutney but the measures and ingredients vary.

When compared to other South Indians, Telugus use less Radish. Often I hear people saying they do not like the pungent smell of Radish but this Chutney, made with this recipe, tastes really good.

Follow the tips for tasty Chutney and its proper storage.

Tips

Radish:

  1. Radish pieces should be nicely fried in Oil. Only then do they lose their pungent smell.

  2. Since the Radish pieces have moisture, they need to be fried slowly, on a medium flame.

Oil:

  1. You should use as much Oil as I have suggested or the Chutney becomes too dry.

Tamarind:

  1. We need about 100 grams of deseeded Tamarind for 400 grams of fried Radish pieces. Increase Tamarind if you like more sourness but then also increase Red Chillies and Salt.

Grinding:

  1. Before grinding the Chutney, Coriander Seeds and Chillies should be ground into a coarse paste not into a powder.

  2. For grinding the Chutney, use 2-3 tbsp Water and make a coarse paste. Do not grind it too much.
