Dosa or Idli is one of the staple breakfasts in every South Indian home. The most common condiments are chutney and sambar. There is a wide variety of chutneys but the most common ones are made with coconut. If you are bored with the regular coconut chutneys, then I suggest you try this no-coconut chutney using radish.
"Fresh Winter Veggies" was the theme for the Nov "Shhhhh Cooking Secretly" event. The theme was suggested by Preethi of Preethi's cuisine. Do check out her blog for a wide collection of delicious recipes. I have bookmarked to try her Tom Yum flavored Mushroom and Coriander soup. My partner for Nov month is Priya Vijaykrishnan who blogs at Sweet Spicy & Tasty. Medu Vada platter in her blog caught my eye and I am craving for one now. Priya suggested radish and mustard seeds as my secret ingredient and I made this radish chutney. I gave her Spinach and green chilies and she made healthy and delicious - Keerai Masayil. Do check visit her blog to get the recipe.
