Tips to Make the Best Andhra Radish Chutney:

• Do not make the chutney too smooth. You will need to grind it until coarse to get the right consistency and texture.
• You can also chop the radishes instead of grating. But, I found the grating method speed-up the cooking process and gives the best texture to the chutney.
• Make sure you do not burn the spices while roasting.
