About Radish Chutney
Radish Chutney is a chutney made with radish, onions, chana dal and spices. These ingredients come together and tastes great with South Indian tiffin items like idli, dosa, upma etc. Radish gives it a mild flavour and the spices balance it perfectly.
The onions in this recipe adds mild sweetness and balances the spices flavours, also the chana dal adds crunch and nutty flavour to the chutney, together the flavours blend and create something really taste great. The tempering with mustard seeds and urad dal adds the finishing touch.
I usually make radish chutney during vegetable season when radish is fresh. My family appreciates it because it is healthier than packaged chutneys and tastes homemade. The raw smell is gone once you cook radish properly so it safe to eat.
Salt - I added to taste. Start with less because you can always add more.
Mustard seeds - I used for tempering. They splutter and add nice flavour to the chutney.
Urad dal - I used split urad dal for tempering. It turns golden and adds crunch on top.
Curry leaves - I added fresh curry leaves for tempering.
How to make Radish Chutney Step by Step
1.Heat oil in a pan add chana dal, coriander seeds, garlic and red chillies, fry for 2 mins until fragrant. Add onion.
2.Add required salt and saute till transparent then add radish. Saute for 2 minutes.
3.Cook covered for 5-7 minutes in low flame. Take a piece of radish to check if its cooked cut with spoon and see it cuts easily then its perfect. Saute for 2 minutes. Switch off and cool down completely.
4.Transfer to mixer jar. First grind it coarse, radish will let out water so add water accordingly. Grind to chutney consistency.
5.In a pan heat oil - add mustard seeds let it splutter then add urad dal and curry leaves saute till dal turns golden. Transfer tadka to chutney, mix well.
Serve with idli, dosa
Expert Tips
Cook well - I always make sure radish is cooked properly. If it is not cooked well the chutney will give raw smell.
Check doneness - I cut the radish pieces with spoon to check if it cooked. It should cut easily and be soft inside.
Grinding - I grind it coarse first because radish let out water. Add water accordingly while grinding.
Cool completely - I let everything cool down before grinding. Hot mixture is difficult to grind and might spill out.
Tempering - I add tempering after grinding because it keeps mustard seeds and dal crispy. This adds texture to chutney.
Serve radish chutney with idli, dosa or uttapam for breakfast. It pair well with south Indian food and taste good at room temperature. Store this in airtight jar at room temperature and it stay good for 4 to 5 days without any problem.
FAQS
1. Can I use pink radish instead?
Yes you can use pink radish too. It gives similar flavour and texture as white radish so no issues adding them.
2. Why does my chutney smell raw?
It gives raw flavour if radish is not cooked well enough. Cook it longer until it is soft and no raw smell remains.
3. Can I add extra chilli?
Yes you can add 4 red chillies instead of 2 for more heat. Adjust based on your preference.
4. How long it stays fresh?
It just stays good for 4 to 5 days in airtight jar at room temperature. You can refrigerate for longer.
5. Can I skip tempering?
You can but tempering adds nice flavour and texture. It only takes few minutes so I recommend tempering the chutney.

I saw this easy chutney in my chettinad cookbook so wanted to give it a try.Usually I look for different chutney recipes or sidedish for idli dosa and this one was different from the usual chutneys.
The texture is creamy and smooth throughout the chutney. When you taste it fresh everything comes together and tastes really good. The chutney has flavour from mint and coriander herbs. Roasted dal and spices add depth and warmth to the chutney.
I usually make this when we have idli or dosa at home. The creamy texture and herb flavour make it a favourite side dish. It keeps well in the fridge for a couple of days. This Kadamba Chutney goes well with idli, dosa and pongal etc.Actually I had the leftovers with chapathi too and it was soo good.
Urad Dal - I have used urad dal for roasting and grinding. It gives nutty flavour and helps make chutney creamy.
Chana Dal - I added chana dal for flavour and texture. It complements urad dal and adds sweetness to the chutney.
Red Chillies - I used red chillies for spice and heat, you can adjust based on how much spice you like.
