Mullangi kootu

    Since I am bored up with using raddish for making sambar and chappathi, I want to try some traditional dish using raddish. Today prepared karnakizhangu kulambu for lunch, so thought of making kootu using raddish. I worried little how the result would be. But it came so perfect. I myself doesn't expect that this will come out this much tasty. Try this and comment.
