Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups White radish (daikon), grated
- 1 cup Plain yogurt
- 0.5 cup Grated coconut (fresh or frozen)
- 2 whole Green chilies, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 6 leaves Curry leaves (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Wash and peel the white radish. Grate it finely using a box grater or food processor. Measure out 2 cups of grated radish and set aside.
In a blender, combine the grated radish, grated coconut, yogurt, green chilies, grated ginger, lemon juice, and salt. Blend until you achieve a semi-smooth consistency. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl.
In a small pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Allow them to crackle for about 30 seconds.
Add the asafoetida and curry leaves (if using) to the pan. Stir for an additional 15–20 seconds, being careful not to burn the spices.
Pour the tempered oil and spices directly over the radish chutney mixture. Stir well to evenly incorporate the tempering.
Taste and adjust salt or lemon juice as necessary. Chill for 10 minutes to let the flavors meld, or serve immediately with rice, flatbreads, or as a side to main dishes.
