Radish Leaves Chutney | Mullangi Ilai Puli Thogayal

This healthy Radish Leaves chutney / thugayal doesn’t consume more time to make and its a great companion with tiffin varieties and rice. I tried it for the first time and served with Kambu Dosa but later for kids I mixed it up with hot rice, ghee and papad . Both combo tasted great, it’s such an exotic combination, also the chutney tastes great the next

day or after few hours of grinding because of the tangy tamarind included in it…
