Red Radish Fry | Radish Poriyal | Red Radish Poriyal

Last week while we were shopping for vegetables, i saw this cute red radish along with greens,so i bought a bunch and it's been sitting in the fridge for more than 5 days, so today i prepared this simple stir fry  and it turns out so delicious. I remember that the radish we used to make in our home back in India have strong flavor and i found it very unpleasant in those days.But this radish doesn't have any kind of strong flavor, don't know whether it's a different variety or the size makes the difference.Anyhow this radish taste so good and i'm gonna make this often.
