Radish is my favorite. So I make it a point to buy fresh, juicy radish on every trip to vegetable market. Sambar, gojju, rotti, majjige huli, mosaru bajji.. Mullangi fits the bill. Oh by the way, mullangi is Kannada name for radish.
I had heard about jajju mullangi from my mom in law but had never bothered to learn or get the recipe. I was left with no option but use my imagination and make mullangi chutney. Loved the result. If you do not want to eat radish for salad, yet feel need to have raw radish, this is the answer. I hope you vote for this simple chutney that could be fixed in a jiffy.
