My today's chutney recipe is using an amazing leaf which has lots of nutrients like vitamin C, iron, calcium etc. And in addition, it lowers the cholesterol and regulate digestion. Its nothing but a leaves of a popular veggie Radish. Yes ! Radish leaves has loads of healthy benefits so try to include in diet instead of throwing away. Radish leaves are high in fiber which helps in weight loss too. Apart from chutney, radish leaves can be used in dal fry, sambhar, stir fry etc. In this recipe, I had used these leaves along with coriander leaves to prepare a healthy and delicious chutney. This goes yummy with plain rice or an also be served with Idly or Dosa.
