Mullangi Pachadi | Mooli Raita | Spiced Yogurt With Radish

Jump to Recipe

Mullangi pachadi or radish raita is a very refreshing raita made with fresh grated radish and yogurt and then seasoned. This mooli raita is the best side dish to serve with paratha or biriyani.

Mullangi Radish Raita in a bowl

I found some fresh radish (mullangi) in my local Indian store. The radish was very tender with fresh greens attached to it. I usually remove the greens and just buy the radish, but this time I bought back the greens as well.

I remember seeing a recipe in the Mallika Badrinath book for mullangi raita where she had used raw radish. This recipe is a slightly jazzed up version.

The recipe paired very well with the Tomato Biriyani that I had made for lunch. My boy’s love radish and I often have to add a lot of it in the sambhar. I also make mullangi subzi to pair with roti’s.
