MULLANGI KOSAMBARI
Along with fresh carrots, what caught my eye in our nearby department store were bunches of white radish. They looked so attractive that I had to buy some!
Of course, Radish called Mooli in Hindi, Mullangi in Kannada and Tamil is not new to us. I make dishes with radish once in awhile as this commonly available root vegetable is strong in antioxidants and hence has several health benefits.
Elsewhere in this blog, you will recipes for dishes made with radish, such as:-
