Grated Radish Stir fry (Mullangi Poriyal)

Radish is low in calories and in fat, is high in antioxidants and helps regulate digestion. This very healthy and very delicious dish that can be served with chappatis and rice. Mullangi or Radish used to be the vegetable that can smell while cooking. Radish tastes great and good for health. I generally make chutney out of these which is also yummy but today I was in no mood for a chutney so I made poriyal out of it.
