Radish or Mooli chutney
Hii all..i am again blogging after a long time..i had gone to my sister’s place. My second niece was born last month! I had a great time there..but actually i got some great oppurtuniteis to try out new recipes. I was quite surprised to know that there is something called mooli pachadi too!All credit goes to my dear mother…she is having a gala time playing with hee two small grandkids…she is experimenting with chutnyes (now i know where i got the bug haha ) Its a mouth watering chutney which one can use as a spread on tortillas, bread..and you will be shocked…i am planning to use it as a spread on a pizza!!! 
Whenever i get radishes..i only add them in pulusu/sambhar or i make parathas. But this time…chutney!!!
