Lakshmi,
You reminded me my mom. My mom used to make this regularly.
Viji - I saved the radish chutney recipe. Will make it the next time I have fresh radishes at home.
Sia - Yes, you can use frozen tindora. Make sure you thaw it to room temperature first. You can also wash the frozen tindora to bring it to room temperature.
Trupti - I think this is not a traditional recipe. I came across this recipe in some old cookbook and made a few variations.
Rajani - do let me know how it came out.
Seema, Revathi, Asha, Swapna, Maheshwari, Jaya and Seema - glad you like the recipe
Hi Lakshmi
