This is my MIL's basic sambar recipe for rice. I make this sambar adding one of these vegetables like radish/ mullangi, drumstick, ladies finger, brinjal , broad beans and cluster beans. I adjust the quantity of tamarind & chilli based on the vegetables you use. But the other ingredients are same. For radish , we should use little less tamarind than the usual quantity because radish has a tendency to absorb the tanginess of tamarind and it spoils the taste of sambar.
Usually I pressure cook radish with toor dal and make sambar. One of my aunties suggested me to saute radish in little oil because it helps to suppress the raw smell of radish and also adds a nice smell to sambar. So I started preparing that way. If you like the smell of radish you don't have to saute it. Lets see how to prepare Mullangi sambar !
