Mostly in South Indian homes, whatever the quantity, the entire radish would go straight away to sambar. I never saw my mom handle radish other than sambar. Though mullangi sambar tastes like heaven, regular usage can lead to boredom.
This radish chutney is easier to make, and I bet no one can imagine the main ingredient.

How to make Radish Chutney:
Wash and clean radish. Peel the skin with the peeler. Chop them into small-sized cubes, which makes them quickly get cooked while sauteing. Assemble other ingredients on a plate.
Remove the husk or seed of the tamarind.
Add a teaspoon of cooking oil to a frying pan, followed by urad dal, asafoetida, and red chilies.
Add chopped radish once the red chilies and urad dal turn golden brown and continue to saute. Remove the frying pan from the fire once the radish becomes softer and cooked inside.
Keep aside and allow them to return to room temperature. Once cooled down, transfer them to the mixer jar, add salt, and grind to form a smooth paste. Top it with mustard tempering.
Add a teaspoon of oil, followed by mustard, urad dal, and curry leaves for tempering. Allow mustard to splutter and add it to the radish chutney.

Chutneys are made by slow-cooking fruit or vegetables with peeled ginger, garlic, Korintje cinnamon, and chilies. Spices and vinegar are added to preserve the chutney and give it a tangy flavor.
Chutneys are best eaten after a long maturing period so we recommend storing them in a cool, dry dark place and leaving them for no less than 8 weeks before opening them.
When you make chutney its consistency is determined by the evaporation of liquid as the chutney cooks. So if possible you should use a wide pan as this has a larger surface area which means that liquid will evaporate more quickly and should help to prevent the fruit in the chutney from becoming too soft.
The most common method is to simply cook it for longer, until the excess water evaporates and the chutney thickens naturally. This can take a while, so be patient and stir the chutney frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Vinegar used in making chutney must be good quality and have at least 5% acetic acid content. Any good brand white, malt, wine or cider vinegar should possess the correct qualities. Brown sugar is used for darker coloured chutney but where a lighter colour is required granulated sugar is recommended.
Tomato chutney is common everywhere, but Bengali tomato chutney is sweet, thanks to the addition of dates or mangoes, and used to cleanse the palate between spicy and sweet courses, while Hyderabadi tomato chutney packs more heat thanks to dried chillies, and is served as a side dish with rice or flatbread.
As it thickens, stir more frequently and watch that the sugar does not begin to stick to the bottom of the pan. The chutney is done when you can scrape a wooden spoon across the bottom of the pan and the chutney does not flow back into the gap.
Fill the hot dry jars right to the top – preserves shrink slightly on cooling and a full jar means less trapped condensation. Seal the jars while still hot. This rule applies to all jams, jellies, pickles and chutneys.
Take the chutney from the heat and remove the jars from the oven. Fill with the warm chutney, pressing down well. Half screw on the lids until the jars are cool: then it is OK to tighten.
Vinegar is always needed to add the tang that chutneys deliver but also it helps preserve the mixture and as chutneys will sit around for a long time, that's important.
If your chutney is too runny or your recipe calls for a thickening agent, always use cornflour mixed with a little of the vinegar. Cornflour is gluten free. Always to this at the very end because thickening your chutney like this will make catch and burn easily.
Chutneys have a high concentration of vinegar and sugar which prevents spoilage. In general if there's not an "off" smell or mold then it's fine to eat. If you have more than you'll eat in a month or so, then freeze or preserve it.
If the chutney seems too runny, cook it for another 5-10 minutes and test again. You may also like to give the chutney the odd stir as you cook it, to prevent the mixture at the edges of the pan from catching.
Pudina is a green leaf with an essential oil that gives it the menthol flavour. There is only one good reason why pudina chutney turns bitter. It can turn bitter if you grind it too much of for too long in the electric grinder. The oils in the leaves start to turn rancid.
Generally the vinegar in the chutney will mellow over time and we suggest that you allow 2 months for the sealed jars of chutney to "mature" in a cool, dry place.
Other prominent ingredients and combinations include coriander, capsicum, mint (coriander and mint chutneys are often called हरा hara chutney, Hindi for "green"), Tamarind or imli (often called meethi chutney, as मिठाई meethi in Hindi means "sweet"), sooth (or saunth, made with dates and ginger), coconut, onion, prune, ...
Relish. Chutney and relish are two popular condiments, and the names are often interchanged. The confusion is understandable because chutneys can be savory, and relishes can be sweet. In general, chutneys have a chunky spreadable consistency much like a preserve and are usually made with fruit.
Relishes, on the other hand, are cooked for a shorter time, with the resultant relish chunkier and more sharply flavoured than a chutney. Some people argue that a chutney will always contain mainly fruit or a mixture of fruits, and relishes are generally made of vegetables, and usually one variety.
