The Mango variety used added a blended taste of tangy (Tamrind) and Jaggery (Sweet).
It’s a comforting, thick flavourful packed soup and perfect fusion is fresh bread.
Health Benefits:
Radish is extremely low in calories, but with potential anti-cancer benefits on account of their being a cruciferous vegetable (the same family as cabbages and Brussels sprouts).
