Dear Kamala ,plz leave me some recipie details of white radish LEAVES ,how to prepare kootu with this??
Hi Mathangi,
Yes. You can prepare Kootu with the white radish leaves. However, making poriyal will be tastier since the leaves are crisp. Check the following “Ponnankanni Keerai Poriyal” recipe. Same method you can prepare the poriyal using radish leaves:
