RADISH SAMBAR RECIPE
Mullangi Sambar is an easy and delicious South Indian variant of sambar with piquant favors of radish, healthy lentils and fragrant spices. This sambar variety is made with white radish a.k.a mullangi in the Tamil Language and mooli in the Hindi language. It is hearty, comforting, filling lentils and radish stew that pairs well with steamed rice, idli, dosa or vada.
Sambar is one dish that is always on the menu at home once a week. So sometimes I usually prepare sambar with just one vegetable like drumsticks, egg plant, brinjal, okra, etc., This mullangi sambar also falls in this category where the sambar is made mainly with just one vegetable.
Mullangi, white radish in Tamil has extreme coolant properties and makes for a great vegetable to add in the sambar. I love the strong flavor of Mullangi in Sambar, although I know that it is not everyone's favorite vegetable. Try making this Mullangi sambar and I am sure your opinion about this vegetable would change instantly. While this sambar goes well with hot rice, it is also perfect with breakfast recipes like idli, dosa or upma. I know I already have posted variations of sambar recipes here but it is never too late to have as many sambar recipes in your cooking repertoire.
