Yay..It the end of
the week. I can't believe how fast this week has gone. It was such a tiring
week for me. I should do something or go somewhere this weekend..Lets see what
we have in store for us..
Now moving back to
the recipe. Radish was one of the most hated vegetable of mine before marriage.
But after marriage I started to pick few radishes when I was visiting market.
Radishes are not only cheap, it is packed with lots of minerals. Mainly it is
good for people who are in diet, radishes helps in losing weight. So what I make with that, somedays I make
this Radish
paratha, but most of the time it will this yummy sambar. This sambar is
packed with full flavour, those radishes give this sambar a unique taste and
aroma..
I have a request to
you folks, if you have any yummy radish recipes, please tell me. I have few
radishes left in the fridge.

One of my fav sambhar...very flavorful sambhar...
very yummy sambhar... i too like this sambhar...
VIRUNTHU UNNA VAANGA
The radish sambhar looks yummy. I usually make it with thoor dal. I like it like that. You can also make poriyal with radish, add some soaked chana dal or moong dal. Usually fresh and tender radishes are good, but more mature ones have a strong smell.In that case add finely chopped ginger along with the onions.
